It *is* a discussion board. People can post their opinions. If we didn't complain about things more than half the messages would be gone.

When people sigh, "Well, I suppose I can't complain," I always say, ""Why the heck not?"

I don't think either party has any monopoly on the Group W bench. Referees, on the other hand...


"Kid, I want you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... NOW kid!!"

And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?"

I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage."

He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering."

And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance."

And they all came back, shook my hand,and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.

Er, most of the extra fees were "surprises" about which we have only learned in the past week or so. Meaning nonrefundable plane tickets already purchased and nonrefundable entry fees already paid, time gotten off rom work, etc. Deciding not to go in protest would be at this point cutting off our noses to spite our faces. So yeah, I'm going to gripe...
