[Rhodes22-list] POLITICAL - Hail Citizen, was Ben, I'm a Republican voting for Obama

[Brad Haslett]

Hank,

This is really a reply to Andrew, but for some reason, his reply
didn't come through but yours did.

Andrew,

You wrote," Brad, are property rights in the PRC equal to those here in the
 good ol' USA? Think about it, buddy. Ask your wife, she will know."

Here's your answer, buddy.  My wife knows both sides of the story -
lived them.  It is not theory with her, buddy.  We own property with
her sister who happens to be in the 'good ole USA' as we speak going
through training with her European employer, buddy.

Did I mention she (my sister-in-law) has an MBA from a NYC based
university and spent her graduation weekend as the guest of a list
member, buddy?

Blow all the smoke out your ass you want.  Don't try to blow it up
mine.  Come to my house for dinner.  We'll talk reality, not smoke.

Brad
