decimation: because no bureaucrat will not
take bob dole's call
decimation: supposedly after failing

decimation: good point. political connections, 'can call $bureaucrat' etc is
the us 'better deal'

the screen?
kakobrekla: Because despite positive press coverage from

kakobrekla: isnt
that what
they would want you
to belive decimation
