What Anna said because I disagree. I want more. In fact, I saw Anna today at the book store and I had to stop for a book. They didn't have the one I wanted and I want it, dammit!

So, I'm pretty much happy, for the most part, with gains in education. RB P.S. I also want my side windows to roll down and that makes you the suckity Joneses.
