Wow, that much for a fake, and a bad one at that (are there good ones?). "Let the buyer beware...." :(

Considering that a sizeable portion of this country believes that the sun orbits the Earth, and that the current President is a Muslim, and that a pathological liar, emotionally unstable narcissist, and crypto-fascist is the front-runner for one political party in this country, I can't be so sure about that... :roll:

With all respect (and astronomy aside), political insults don't belong on this forum - no matter which side you're on.

P. T. Barnum was right, alas. "There is a sucker born every minute." I wish I could say I had never taken the bait in my lifetime, but that would not be true. Sometimes it takes big mistakes to teach us.

-(And although I wholeheartedly agree that there are better forums for political banter, I also agree with Bill's concept that this sale is inline with so many other aspects of our country that seem to be getting quite absurd these days. "Sign of the times?")

Please no more political or religious rants. + with George: this is not the place for them.
