You give him way to much credit. The last used car salesman I dealt with was so far above board and ethical it was unreal.

When I said there are predators in hockey I meant the human kind. I do worry about them. Not the ones in Nashville.

I have an opinion as well but I will not post it here. Are any of you old enough besides Mr. Campbell and I about what happened when Charles DeGaulle said "Vive Quebec Libre"? or whatever he said. The outcry from Canadians was deafening. It appears Justin learned nothing from history except...
