Hey....BIG cheers for you, Elden! Perhaps it is because of my advanced age,
but I have had it up to here with "political correctness" and pressure groups,
regardless of whether they are racial, cultural, political, or whatever! When
this sort of garbage starts hitting into
what someone may or may not be able to purchase in a market, it is time for
revolt, folks! Pretty soon "they" may start removing chile related stuff as
injurious to a childs health, just think of that!! Cheers,Doug in BC
