Simply because one company is less than forthcoming in their communications regarding the state of their business and their subsequent financial condition, does not excuse a second company in following the same deceptive practice. OPTI and Connacher were both less than honest, open and forthcoming in their shareholder communications. Going forward therefore, neither company can be trusted in their communcations.

As to BO. The US has a large contingent of very youthful voters. The children of the Baby Boom generation. (my generation.). They tend to be very politically and economically naive, educated at university by ultra liberal socilaistic leaning professors, with all of the foolish and callow attitudes of the very young. This combined with the overwhelming (95%) of the Black American vote, was what granted Obama the election. That and various very shady organizations whom are known to be corrupt and extremely socialistic. (ACORN)

Yes! I hope that we are fortunate enough to have as yet an unknown Ronald Regan waiting in the wings to fix the damage rapidly being done to the US social, political and economic climate!
