When the issue first came up I advised LPFM folks to band together so 
they could lobby (maybe even hire Jack Abramoff) and contribute money 
like the big guys do. Maybe they wouldn't be able to send politicians 
to golf in Ireland, but there are some good courses in New Jersey. To 
suggest that the push for IBUZ is a way to make the rich richer is 
terribly cynical.

I'm surprised Barry didn't intercept a message with such unkind and 
wildly unsupported content. Don't be surprised to hear Pat Robertson 
and Ray Nagin suggest God is pissed at you.
