Perhaps unwashed inbreds was too harsh. They do seem undereducated. The question was if the common man was better apt at interpreting the Constitution than a lawyer. I stated that they were not. Such matters should be decided by people of breeding and education.

A Tickler of Events to Come for the YANQUIS Tony TWO FER Canales & MIKAL WATTS

""A Tickler of Events to Come" for the YANQUISPosted on December 27, 2005 at 05:11:53 AM by Jaime KenedeñoOk, trying to break down the factions and the affinities bringing them in and out of affiliation, I will try tomake sense of it ALL. Tony Canales & Mikal Watts have a common enemy in Jaime Capelo. While Mikal Watts claims to be exacting his influence against Capelo for Capelo not supporting (politically) his Mother Sandra Watts (Nueces County District Judge); the other reason might seem to the average citizen as a most motivating factor, it is the Legislation Capelo Co Authored with Joe Nixon HB 4. A local proposition Capelo wrote apparently evolved into the HB 4. This legislation limited product liability amount$ at $250k per victim. Canales seemingly should be applauding the Capelo Litigation as his close personal friend Hugo Berlanga sat Capelo into his vacated seat. Hugo had legal problems and probably was designing the medical legislation before he ran into legal allegations. So the bill is favorable to TWO FER, KFATSO & the Health care system; so why would Tony be mad? Senator Carlos Truan "retired" but sources tell me he was told to not run again. So now Nueces has nobody to replace Truan. Two Fer has his Daughter run assuming that the usual crowd will back the Dr Hector "coat tails". It seems a rift occurred. rene odriguez Jaime Capelo & Shamsie represented a new faction and backed Chuey Hinojosa over Barbara Canales. Tony was humiliated and this is his reason for stirring up the Police Officers Association (Citgo Faction). He YANQUIED the Cops into going after Rodriguez. Capelo (Citgo Atty) settled with Rodriguez (CCPOA Atty). Capelo settled out of court for a small fee of course. Lawyers always do these type of "Rebates" as Homero terms it. Two Fer already had this info when he roused the CCPOA up against Rodriguez. So was Capelo a fall guy to get at Rodriguez for Two Fer and Watts alligned with Two Fer so as to Finish Capelo. that is one part Solomon Ortiz represents the old school and has retained much of the old ties of Dr Hector. I would say more so than Two Fer the YANQUI. But this too is evolving into an "independent thinking" electorate. These labels Democrat & Republican mean nothing anymore. They too are used by the YANQUIS. Then there was Terry Arnold for the republicans. Abel Herrero is another spport system and probably allligns with one of the above but not Watts and his good government PAC. Nelda Martinez whom I understand is close with Mr Rangel's daughter. Watts is smart. Watt he is doing is picking the winners and influencing them with money. Watt does he expect in return is Wattt I am concerned about. "A Tickler of Events to Come"

In a recent poll financed by Democratic powerbroker Mikal Watts to determine the reputation. Posted on December 26, 2005 at 10:59:45 PM by Jaime KenedeñoIn a recent poll financed by Democratic powerbroker Mikal Watts to determine the reputation of candidates among voters who were likely to vote in the Democratic Party primary, Olivarez's numbers are strong and indicate that he could beat Republican candidate and former Corpus Christi Mayor Loyd Neal. Watts put the poll in the field to determine whom he would throw his support behind in the upcoming election. As a major financial backer in the party, Watts said he wants to know which candidates have the best chances before he gets involved. That poll showed Olivarez had a 68.7 percent favorable rating compared to Neal's favorable rating of 54 percent. Watts said he feels confident Olivarez can defeat Neal in a November general election, perhaps by seven or eight percentage points. Neal said Wednesday he would not be running if he did not think he could win. "Of course I have not seen his poll," Neal said. "I guess you get what you pay for. That must be why the sheriff is running. I would not be running if I did not think I could win the election. I have said all along that we did not know who that candidate would be until 5 o'clock on Jan. 2. I did not get in this to lose." County Judge Terry Shamsie, who announced Tuesday that he will not seek reelection but left open the possibility that he will seek a different office, left a positive impression with 51 percent of potential voters, according to Watts' poll. Watts said he does not believe the results of the poll had any bearing on Shamsie's decision to withdraw from the race for county judge, and said that Shamsie truly was upset about the recent death of his brother. "I think Terry's decision is as he said," Watts said. "I think that hit him really hard." Neal Falgoust and Beth Wilson contributed to this report.

Jeff Montgomery is Barbara Black & Mikal Watts Political Consultant ranked #5Posted on December 27, 2005 at 00:11:12 AM by Jaime Kenedeño5. Jeff Montgomery Montgomery & Associates Jeff Montgomery has been in the middle of the bitter infighting among state House Democrats in the primary elections this year - but he's not a typical Texas Democratic Party in crowd member - and he marches more often to his own beat than he does to the party line. That might make him have to work a little harder than the state party's consulting establishment for the business he gets doing media and research for political candidates. But it might also force him to try to be a little better at the job than some state party insiders who take their share of the pie more for granted - and he has as many or more awards to show for his work than most consultants in town. He helped State Rep. Aaron Peña defend his Rio Grande Valley state House seat this year against a well-armed primary opponent with strong business support - and he handled the consulting duties for former Rep. Tracy King as he prevailed in a rematch against State Rep. Timoteo Garza for the Southwest Texas seat that changed hands two years ago. Montgomery produced former House Education Chairman Paul Sadler's media in the special state Senate election in Northeast Texas - and the Democrats came close to an upset despite unprecedented GOP firepower for a legislative campaign. In addition to his work in politics, Montgomery has conducted public opinion surveys for a diverse range of corporate and public clients including Mikal Watts' law firm and the University of Texas System. He's made some Republicans mad with polls that he initiated on his own. Despite the relatively independent nature, he's handled some direct mail and phone banks for the state Democratic Party in recent years. His firm, Montgomery & Associates, last year added several Pollie awards from the American Association of Political Consultants to its collection of honors including first-place in bilingual television advertising for a spot on the Cameron County judge race and third place in the same category for a Barbara Canales Black ad in her state Senate campaign.

Mikal Watts is not about Humanity or Goodwill he is about Mikal Watts.Posted on December 26, 2005 at 11:33:56 PM by Jaime KenedeñoSame thing with Vance Owen. They both used Mauricio Celis. He (Celis) brought the clients from Mexico through Vance to Watts. Then Watts distanced himself from all of the Players in the Firestone cases from Mexico (except an attorney named Mike Guerra in the Edinburgh Office). Vance took Mauricio on a spending contest going halves on many things including the EL TAPATIO, Ferrarri's, Havana Club,etc... etc...Women and more women. Whisked away on dates in the leer jet to Mexico and destinations unknown. I always wondered WATT they were packing on the way home. Probably money. Well I understand Mr Owens has since sold his half to Celis and is now liquid. I wonder what shit is fixing to hit the fan? CCPD has rumored of impropriety with these YANQUIs.

Here is one from YOUR"S TRULY, El Defenzor's Own Homero.Posted on December 26, 2005 at 11:43:57 PM by Jaime KenedeñoIs MIKAL WATTS, the founder of the Good Government Political Action Committee, Organizing To Help His Mom Turn Republican? ---------------------<>--------------------- Research Indicates Many Contributors Are Hardcore Republicans – With Grudges Against Democrats --------------------------------------- Corpus Christi, TX – The Watts Law Firm founded by Mikal Watts is listed by the Texas Ethics Commission as being the organization in charge of the political action committee known as the Good Government PAC. This political organization has paid to discredit state Rep. Jaime Capelo, Democrat-Corpus Christi, via billboards and Bus Stop advertisements. When one of the contributors (who has affirmed his political affiliation with the Republican Party) was asked by the Defenzor why he contributed to the PAC, he responded: “My intention is to expose corruption within the Democratic Party!” The shocking news is that many of the names who appear as donors/contributors of the mentioned PAC are not only trial lawyers but high ranking Republicans or activists in South Texas and one is even a member of the Texas Republican Executive Committee. Political Scandal Unveiled? The following information was obtained from the Quorum Report, an online Texas political newsletter; it confirms reports that the Good Government PAC, that has been responsible for a blitz on negative paid political advertisement targeting Capelo. Contributors to the Good Government PAC that appear on the list: Paul Altheide (Corpus Christi), $50; Richard Anger (Corpus Christi), $50; Antoinette Atteberry (Orange Grove), $50; Bill Bates (Corpus Christi), $50; Tracy Bates (Corpus Christi), $50; Jim Bordden (Corpus Christi), $50; Richard Bowers (known Republican of Corpus Christi), $50; Lance Bruun (Corpus Christi, sits on the Executive Committee of the Texas Republican Party), $50; Amado Contreras (Dario Barga’s Brother?), $25; Dora Contreras (Dario Barga’s Sister?), $25; Clark Flato (Corpus Christi), $50, Adalberto Gonzalez (Corpus Christi), $40; Alfonso Gonzalez (Corpus Christi), $50; Dr. Ron Him (McCallen), $50; Javir Juarez (Corpus Christi), $50; Cynthia Coronado (San Antonio), $50; Mrs. Albert Dominguez (Corpus Christi former support of Barbara Canales Black for State Sentate), $25; Richard Dupriest (Corpus Christi), $50; William Durrill (name sure sounds familiar in Corpus Christi), $50; Dr. Kery Feferman (San Antonio), $50; Maria Orozco (Corpus Christi), $25; Mayra Orozco (Corpus Christi), $25; Jane Quiroz (campaign manger for State Representative Vilma Luna), $50; Allen Ray (linked with Barbara Canales-Black and a native of Rivera?), $50; Roberta Maymond, $25; Linda Laws-Pate (relate to Jaime Capelo’s former Republican opponent?), $50; C.E. May (known Republican of Sarita, TX) Jr.; Leonard May (Sarita – known Republican), $50; Joe McComb (former County Commissioner and failed Republican candidate for County Judge), $50; Reynaldo Moreno (Corpus Christi),, $25; Alicia Rodriguez, $25; Andres Rodriguez, $50; The Edwards Law Firm (trial lawyers), $50,000; Joyce Turcotte (Kingville), $50; Watts Law Firm (the PAC’s governing entity), LLP, $50,000; James Whitten (Sinton), $25. The above list clearly indicates that the Good Government Political Action Committee has a non-Democratic Party element and is funded by interest parties that want to unseat traditional Democratic Party politicos have a vested interest in unseating, essentially progressive politi-cians espousing an Hispanic-oriented cause. The billboards aiming propaganda darts at Capelo, if funded by the above parties, clearly indicate that they are not representative of the Hispanic community at large who for the most part has to carry the burden of poverty and unfortunate education and for the most part have meager resources for health care. The Good Government PAC is paying about $1,000 per month for the billboard advertisements allow the highways and about $50 a month for the 50 or so bus bench advertisements. “Vote No to Jaime Capelo" – this is the message put out by the group who is headed by Mikal Watts, whose mother serves as a District Judge – i.e., Sandra Wattts. A known Republican Party contributor to the PAC told the Defenzor: “I feel that the billboard should have included another statement – ‘The Democratic Party is corrupt.’” Why then is the traditional media not reporting on the charged vested interests of the Good Government PAC? Watts, many politic observers in the region believe is targeting Capelo not so much for supporting legislation that restricts the amount of funds that plaintiffs can amass in medical malpractice civil actions, but due to the fact that his mother was not supported politically this politico. Watts, an email release by Capelo during a recent deposition, shows the animosity has he carries against those that abandoned his mother. Watts goes as far as to insist the employees of the law firm he is affiliated with to adopt a political posture against Capelo. Capelo has filed report with law enforcement forces about four months ago accusing Watts of making bullying remarks against him. Such romantic quackeries of politics reflect irrational thinking that is spilling over into the Hispanic community. Watts seems to have hitched horses with forces that do not ring with sincerity when it comes to supporting progressive political measures in favor of the loyal Democratic Party factions in El Pueblo Hispano. Political expediency? There is a Mexicano saying: “No existen los tiempos malos, lo malo es el hombre” (Bad times do not exist, what is wrong is man). Some political observers believe that if Mikal Watts fails in his attempt to unseat Capelo and discredit what has been referred to as La Clica of the Democratic Party, he will urge his mother – Judge Sandra Watts – to run Republican next time around. The following information (and interviews with some that appear on the list) also seems to reflect that State Representative Vilma Luna (who is represents the Watts Law Firm also) has strong links with Republican leaders in the region. There is another saying in the Hispanic community: “Cuan grande seria el hombre si no fuese tan arrogante” (How great man would be, were he not so arrogant). Watts there is no doubt about it is capitalizing on the conflict involving Capelo and Attorney Rene Rodriguez in three civil cases interconnected to the $100,000 check. Recently in a deposition, Rodriguez cleared Capelo of any wrongdoing by claiming asserting the mentioned check was written in error. However, Watts and his organization are adamant of describing it as a kickback for bringing an arrangement in a refinery lawsuit. During the mentioned deposition of Capelo, Attorney Tony Canales (Barbara Canales-Black’s father), used the words “Let’s finish him” (referring to taking Capelo’s deposition). Mafia language? Or did he borrow the phrase from the video game Mortal Kombat – “Finish him! Finish him!” – whatever the case, it sure was unprofessional. Terry Arnold, the lone Republican candidate has a lot to gain from the efforts of the Good Government PAC and Watts’ indignation – it is a resonant cause to Arnold’s campaign. Some argue that not only Capelo will be victimized by the PAC group, but other Hispanic politicos as well. Even Nueces County Commissioner Oscar Ortiz’s opponent, Maria Zarate, has been sponsored by attorneys affiliated with State Representative Vilma Luna and Sandra Watts such as William Bonilla and Tony Canales and Albert Huerta. The Watts Law firm was founded by Mikal C. Watts. Their website reads/brags: “…(The firm is) nationally recognized as one of two firms leading the nationwide claims against Bridgestone/Firestone and Ford. His litigation efforts involving Chrysler minivan liftgate latches; General Motors fuel system integrity; and improper maintenance of commercial trucks have been chronicled nationwide. He (Mikal Watts) tried the country's first case over recalled Sulzer hip implants with a jury award of $15,500,000. He won the first plaintiffs' case involving the withdrawn diabetes drug Rezulin with a jury award of $43,000,000. His $5,400,000 verdict involving improper propane distribution has been chronicled statewide, focusing on the importance of compliance with Texas Railroad Commission regulations.” The Watts Law Firm has offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, McAllen, Brownsville, and Houston. In Corpus Christi, the firm is located in Tower II Building on the 14th Floor at 555 North Carancahua Street. http://freewebs.com/defensornews/watts022404.htm

Re(1): Here is one from YOURPosted on December 26, 2005 at 11:48:42 PM by Jaime Kenedeño10/18/03 Doctors Acting As Politicos Submit Letter To The Corpus Chriti Caller-Times And Even Distribute It In The Nueces County Community ----------<>---------- Nueces County, TX -- Twenty doctors have signed a letter that is included at the end of this comentario. The letter not only shows implicit and explicit support for the career politico State Represenative Jaime Capelo, D-Corpus Christi, but the document goes as far as to ask District Court Sandra Watts to remove herself from a case in which Capelo has been accused of taking a $100,000 rebate from Attorney Rene Rodriguez. The Doctors are clearly now functioning as politicos attempting to influence both the legal and legislative system to discourage malpractice claims (i.e., personal lawsuits?) via legislation and other matters. Representative Capelo and his chief of staff -- Humberto "Bert" Quintanilla, seems to have, for expedient reasons, engaged in a reposturing campaign, alligning themselves with a politically oriented organization that resulted in a previous election in the ousting of District Judge Martha Huera (wife to Capelo's Chief of Staff). The voters of Nueces County should be able to see beyond the trees of the forest and know that Capelo is constructing a fort to promote his own interests and protect his personal career via his new political allies. Capelo defied the court this week when he did not submit all the bank and financial statements and deposition statements demanded by Judge Watts' Court. The doctors, which are serving as a political lobbying force, are pointing out that an email that was supposedly drafted by Watts' son -- Mikal Watts -- should be used as a reason that she recuse herself from the case. Mikal supposedly shared the email with his staf that talks about his political preferences...Not a crime, all of us have them. The pernicious effect of the political doctors is not inspired by humanitiarian or humanistic duty but by the mighty dollars they will not have to pay in insurance premiums. Doctor welfare? In the mist of stirring events, Capelo has clearly defeated what he originally stood for -- or at least gave lip service to in the past: he is now the political plan and map and malleable dough of doctors who want to play politicos; doctors who clearly have overstepped their bounds and want to disrupt resonance ideals of justice. The political doctors should be held accountable by the voters; they should send a message to Capelo this election around. As the old saying goes: "Justice is only spell correctly the oppressed; because the oppressor (clearly the poltiical doctors in this case who are defending someone accused of legal malpractice -- so to speak) spell justice....JUST US." Read letter submitted by the doctors who want to play politicos (it includes signatures): Letter (dated Oct. 15) reads: ...................."Jamie Capelo is our enemy" - this is a direct quotation from a letter dated 3/29/03 (that appeared in the Caller-Times) and written by Mikal C. Watts, the well-known plantiff attorney. This only emphasizes the persecution representative Jamie Capelo has suffered these last several months because he has represented his district and has shown leadership by his co-sponsorship of House Bill 4 and his support of Proposition 12." The letter continues: "Both of these measures were urgently needed to help stabilize access to health care in Texas. The plaintiff attorneys have scorned Rep. Capelo and now are attempting to destroy him both personally and professionally. They seem to have forgotten that a person is innocent until proved guilty. We have great concern that Judge Sandra Watts will preside over the Capelo case. It is difficult to discern that she will have any objectivity regarding this case since she is directly related to Mikal Watts. She should consider herself potentially biased toward Rep. Capelo and recuse herself from this case. Corpus Christi and the state of Texas should be appreciative of the leadership of Jamie Capelo. Thank you.

Why does he want to influence with money (support) the favorable according to his polls?Posted on December 26, 2005 at 11:21:25 PM by Jaime KenedeñoA lead lawyer in some massive torts, Mikal Watts of Corpus Christi, is speaking for the plaintiffs in a class action suit in federal court in Corpus Christi. Every six weeks or so, U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack's courtroom is packed with about 150 lawyers who are working out the details before a trial can begin. Trials for the roughly 10,000 claims are not likely to start until at least 2006. Most of the cases in the local federal court come from Mississippi, but about 40 states are represented. After the judge and the lawyers work out the pretrial details, most of the cases will return to Mississippi.

MIKAL WATTS YANQUI EXTRORDINAIRE! Such AUDACITY almost "TWO FOR A NICKEL"Posted on December 27, 2005 at 00:20:22 AM by Jaime KenedeñoSigns held by paid workers Campaign effort is funded by a local committee By Tim Eaton Caller-Times March 3, 2004 Debbie Smith, a temporary worker from Corpus Christi, has been assigned to stand outside the Nueces County Courthouse with a sign emblazoned with "Capelo" inside a circle with a line through it. Smith is being paid $5.15 an hour for this service, though she said she supports the cause and wanted to sign up. "I believe in this," Smith said. Capelo did not have a comment other than to say he wants to keep his campaign positive. The state representative has been accused of accepting a $100,000 kickback from lawyer Rene Rodriguez for helping to broker a settlement in a civil case following an explosion at a local Citgo refinery. Capelo and Rodriguez represented opposing sides in the case. Both have denied any wrongdoing and said the money was returned. The Good Government Political Action Committee is paying people minimum wage to hold signs opposing Capelo. Smith, with sign in hand, sat on a planter outside the courthouse earlier this week. The sign Smith carries has been among dozens of political posters of varying colors and sizes outside the Nueces County Courthouse, where an early voting station had been set up for those interested in voting before election day on March 9. A representative from Labor Ready, a temporary work agency, declined to say how many paid sign-holders the company employs. The representative, who did not give her name, said only that the workers were hired until the election on March 9. Mikal Watts, whose law firm gave $50,000 to the PAC, said that paid workers are the norm in politics. "I think if using paid volunteers is something Jaime is doing, why shouldn't we?" Watts said. "It's always done in politics." Watts mentioned Susie Luna Saldana as one of Capelo's paid workers. Capelo paid Saldana $2,500, according to the most recent report from the Texas Ethics Commission. In a cordial signage duel, Capelo supporter Manuel Ortiz has been standing not 20 yards from Smith lately. Ortiz, a volunteer, said the two get along just fine. "I just talk to her like anybody," he said and added he has not sought to change her mind. Ortiz said Capelo "is doing great things for the people," even Smith. Some people even joked with Ortiz, asking if he and Smith were married. They are not. Besides the courthouse, the paid anti-Capelo workers stood outside other early voting locations. Capelo's Democratic primary opponents in the race for the seat in the state House of Representatives, District 34 - businesswoman Nelda Martinez and former Robstown City Councilman Abel Herrero - have kept their distance from the Good Government PAC, which has been funded mostly by Watts' and Bill Edwards' law firms.

You mean Kenedy?Posted on December 26, 2005 at 12:05:18 PM by Jaime KenedeñoDo you know Mary Cano?

I don't know her . . . Posted on December 26, 2005 at 12:10:55 PM by El Vato Loco . . . but the name rings a bell. If you think she lives in Kingsville to to the appraisal office across from HEB. Do a search by name and she will pop up if she own property.

What about if it is in her husbands name?Posted on December 26, 2005 at 12:15:49 PM by Jaime KenedeñoThat is how I found Oklahoma. Her name is not on there so they wont serve a subpeona to her house. At her JOB they all cover for her. The State of Texas too!

Why dont you do some HOMEWORK and then tell us Sam Biggot Keach is not controlling Robstown?Posted on December 26, 2005 at 11:59:03 AM by Jaime Kenedeñoinstead of ridiculing yourself. "I've been known . . . Posted on December 26, 2005 at 11:24:43 AM by El Vato Loco . . . to make fun of retards, too. You need to decide whether you are a Mexican or an American."

How do we now know who you have posted as this past year Carrales!!Posted on December 26, 2005 at 07:55:41 AM by EstevanWhat do you think Jaime? Copied fron EVW forum Capt Carrales Posts: 4083 Merry Christmas...I'm The Gringe 12/24/2005 11:07 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a fun charade. Brought out a lot of good Christmas feelings. I willnot spend the rest of this tread denying that I was The Gringe. You may now address The Gringe as the fictional characer he is. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You FOUND ME OUT!!!!Posted on December 26, 2005 at 01:04:35 PM by Capt CarralesI'm really Stanford W. Johnsey!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Seriously... As to this board, I have rarely posted as anything other than Capt Carrales, save for the times I've been in a hurry and miss typed it. That whole thing with "The Gringe" was a gag the like of which there are still 'hidden' things that may never come to light. As you know, it is really easy to play a variety of characters in this forum...on EVW one can have as many screen names as e-mails. What a metaphysical question you raise here today? How do we know who is on the other end of the comupter? Or if there is anyone there at all? Its a good ground for a short story. I will pledge that I will never post as anyone else, if that's want you want. There have been, however, over the course of the last two years or so, posts attributed to "Capt Carrales," that were not typed by me. I have see the same happen to Sidewalk_Cipher and a few others. Those are the blokes we need to worry about.

But you sit above & slightly to the right.....Posted on December 26, 2005 at 06:42:31 PM by Jaime KenedeñoWho would have thunk it? When it comes down to it we got the IP. Estevan, thatt was El Capitans whole vector, to get you to say that he could be anyone. Just like el vato loco is not necessarily Curmy. Anyway, I understand the meaning of the Gringe.

Uh OhPosted on December 26, 2005 at 08:22:23 AM by Jaime KenedeñoOle Eric's board is not working for me Is it working for you right now? Cannot find Server since about 3 or 4 pm. Who is Mary Cano? That is what I think. Isassi, is he "not getting his way"? I am Curious? RU Mr Gringe? Sorry Capitan, but that was in poor taste. You dissappoint me. We expected better from you Mr NO agenda. But I did enjoy your night in Corpus Christi. Very creative & Conspiratorial in Humor of Course. It summons the motivational issues addressed before you wrote it. If YOU were inebriated;..... too much EGG Nog, one too many toddies or maybe drank the water in Mexico...... Just say so.

Re(1): Uh Oh capitanPosted on December 26, 2005 at 10:23:36 PM by dannoynted1hey capitan are you not worried about evw message board not up and running? "this is all a play"

It's been working all day for mePosted on December 26, 2005 at 10:33:24 PM by Capt CarralesCurious...I have been posting all day on it.

Re(1): It's been working all day for mePosted on December 26, 2005 at 10:47:05 PM by Jaime KenedeñoGuess it is the Ghost in the Machine eh? Somebody dont want me writing in there else I would be doin it. Right? I guess I hit somebody real hard.

Can you fil me in or ......Posted on December 26, 2005 at 10:33:02 PM by Jaime Kenedeñodo we need to start following the "open meetings act". I guess not. Not even the Corpus Christi City Council has to follow them. The City Attorney called for a "closed session" on the Beach Access issue. This according to Johnny French on the Bob Jones Show this Morning. The Mayor is the one to call for a "Closed Session". Also, Mr French stated that the Land Commissioner must be a part of this as it violates state law on open beaches. All I can say is once you open the door it just keeps on Well better said Give em an inch and they take a mile and then thousands of miles.

Also Mr Economic Development himself (Brent Chesney) doesn't even work in Corpus ChristiPosted on December 26, 2005 at 10:43:52 PM by Jaime KenedeñoAnd it is in question if he is living here or commuting back & forth from Dallas. TRT / Omni headquarters. Remember the Cover up @ Parkdale Baptist? Remember Brent? Nah, We went to JCC together. Remember Bob? Remember Plaisted? Remember Gracida & Law & the expensive Law School in Boston (for CCISD Child Psychologist James Plaisted). It is going to get RUFF. In essence we have many forces of Politico Factions at work.

The German Nazi family Sam Keach came here as bootleggers. It is a slap on the face to us who have lived here for so long to name a book place after "journalist" Sam. When did Mexican Americans make the front page news on their paper? Look it up. And now comes an "Eye for an eye" Shamsie who has never respected Mexican Americans-he sees us as peons.

Re(1): Ladies & Gentlemen,...... I present TLRPosted on December 25, 2005 at 10:51:06 PM by Jaime KenedeñoPRINT THIS STORY E-MAIL THIS STORY Read Mikal Watts' e-mail to Watts Law Firm employees October 15, 2003 Subject: H.B. 4 Amendment Date: Saturday, March 29, 2003 8:53 AM From: Mikal C. Watts To All Watts Law Firm employees Advertisement Crew: Vilma Luna is our hero, and Jamie Capelo is our enemy. First, Vilma wisely established a working relationship with the Republicans in control of the House. Second, she arranged for me and her to have a meeting with Rep. Joe Nixon, the author of H.B. 4, and did an outstanding job negotiating with him to save our practice. Third, I wrote an amendment that created large exceptions to the products bill as originally written, including exceptions re: adequate standards, misleading the government, or failing to warn of defects, and she caused Nixon to meet with us, and to actually consider it. Fourth, Vilma negotiated with him, and convinced him to convince TLR that he should look at the amendment, which he agreed to do. Fifth, Greg Gowan and Alex Miller worked diligently with Vilma, as did Joseph Barrientos, to feed her with specific information needed to continue to lobby the other side. Finally, Alex Miller traveled to San Antonio to write specific wording necessary to accommodate the demands of the other side, while allowing us to do what we needed to do. In a full two days of 350 amendments being offered, Vilma's amendments to the products bill, and her work on eliminating the retroactivity provisions, were among only a very few of the amendments that actually were passed, and got into the bill. At 12:30 a.m. this morning, the house passed H.B. 4 with Vilma's amendments in it. Everyone in the firm needs to take a moment to send an email to Vilma at her Texas House email address (attached) to tell her thanks for saving us. Additionally, the other referenced members of the firm are to be congratulated. Finally, keep a long memory. Jaime Capelo tried to shut us down, and we must not forget that when the next election cycle comes around. Vilma's amendment to the product section of the bill converted a situation where originally all product manufacturers making a product that met federal standards (i.e., all cars and all drugs in this country) immune from suit in Texas. Now, the bill merely creates a rebuttal presumption that product meeting a federal standard is not defective, which we can overcome by proving any one of three things: "The claimant may rebut the presumption in Subsection (a) by establishing that: (1) the mandatory federal safety standards or regulations applicable to the product were inadequate to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury or damage; (2) the manufacturer, before or after marketing the product, withheld information required by or misrepresented information provided to the federal government or agency that was: (a) material and relevant to the federal government's or agency's determination that the mandatory safety standards or regulations at issue were adequate; and (b) causally related to the claimant's injury; or (3) with respect to the manufacturer of a motor vehicle, or a component thereof, after the product was sold and before the alleged injury occurred, the manufacturer learned the vehicle or component part contained a defect causally related to the claimant's injury and to motor vehicle safety and failed to either; (a) give notice to the federal government, or agency of the federal government, that adopted or promulgated the applicable safety standards or regulations; or (b) give notice by first-class mail to each person registered under Texas law as the owner and whose name and address are reasonably ascertainable by the manufacturer through state records or other available sources, or if the registered owner is not notified, to the most recent purchaser known to the manufacturer." This is a critical amendment for the continued viability of any products case in the state of Texas, because Section 1 gives us the ability to keep a case alive by arguing what we always argue anyway -- the federal standard governing our product is inadequate. We win cases only when the jury buys this argument anyway. Section 2 allows us to attack the credibility of the product manufacturer's involvement or participation in the formulation of the federal standards. In the auto context specifically, we now get to get into evidence all the political b.s. the manufacturers pulled in the '60s and '70s in getting these standards watered down. Section 3 allows us to resurrect a post-sale duty to warn in Texas. under the Dion v. Ford case, Texas recognized no common law post-sale duty to warn. Since 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1411 was rescinded, and watered down, it was a necessary amendment to allow us to continue to make the arguments we used to make that the manufacturer knew its product was defective and failed to recall it. Most importantly, the previous iterations of the amendment were stripped; i.e. (a) the previous version's immunity becomes a only rebuttal presumption; (b) level of proof to overcome presumption is reduced from clear and convincing evidence to preponderance of the evidence; (c) the previous exception contained separate provisions and the word "AND," meaning you had to prove all of them to not be summary judgment'd out: now, it says "OR", which gives us the ability to pick our exception, to tailor them to the facts of the case. (d) the previous exception provided for the fraud on the government stuff to apply only if it was information required to be given by the manufacturer, it now applies to any information they gave to the government, which is a critical distinction in our car cases, where almost all the information given is through the voluntary comments provisions. (e) the legislative history is going to be very helpful on this, because we went from a draconian version, to one that includes these exceptions, which should be very helpful to us in convincing trial courts that this kind of evidence should come in. In addition to the efforts of members of our firm, which were critical, other lawyers in CC, including past members of our firm, played a critical role. Fil Vela (lobbying other legislators continuously, and arranging lobbyists), Billy Edwards (testifying in the committee meeting), Sico, White & Braugh and Wigington & Rumley (taking victims to the legislature and assisting with p.r. efforts) and others constantly worked to keep the pressure on locally and state-wide re: the products issue. They are to be congratulated as well. The fight is not over. We have much greater opportunities as this bill reaches the Senate. We must continue our diligence, and keep working hard to get this bill fixed. We have got to continue to get present and former clients up there for the members of the Senate to see. We must work diligently for the rest of this session to make sure TLR does not immunize tortfeasors from their victims in this state.

Mikal Watts; YANQUI, he convinced TLR to Loophole HB 4 what do you think he is doing in S TX?Posted on December 25, 2005 at 11:46:15 PM by Jaime Kenedeño“Vilma Luna is our hero, and Jamie Capelo is our enemy. First, Vilma wisely established a working relationship with the Republicans in control of the House.” How many were TLR republicans? “Second, she arranged for me and her to have a meeting with Rep. Joe Nixon, the author of H.B. 4, and did an outstanding job negotiating with him to save our practice.” Rep. Joe Nixon, the author of H.B. 4 NOT Jaime Capelo! “Third, I wrote an amendment that created large exceptions to the products bill as originally written, including exceptions re: adequate standards, misleading the government, or failing to warn of defects, and she caused Nixon to meet with us, and to actually consider it.” Loopholes for Mikal Watt$ “to save his practice”. Fourth, Vilma negotiated with him, and convinced him to convince TLR that he should look at the amendment, which he agreed to do. Watt did Vilma Luna do that convinced Joe Nixon to look at the amendment? Rhetoric is usually backed up by something. Fifth, Greg Gowan and Alex Miller worked diligently with Vilma, as did Joseph Barrientos, to feed her with specific information needed to continue to lobby the other side. Lobby the other side? Feed Vilma Luna with specific information? Are these guys registered lobbyist? Is Vilma Luna a Lobbyist, an employee of Watts, or a representative of the people? What is the “pecking order”? “ Finally, Alex Miller traveled to San Antonio to write specific wording necessary to accommodate the demands of the other side, while allowing us to do what we needed to do. In a full two days of 350 amendments being offered, Vilma's amendments to the products bill, and her work on eliminating the retroactivity provisions, were among only a very few of the amendments that actually were passed, and got into the bill. At 12:30 a.m. this morning, the house passed H.B. 4 with Vilma's amendments in it”. Watt were the demands of the other side? Who is the other side? TLR & Mikal Watts were playing “Good Cop Bad Cop”? Watt did Mikal’s crew “need” to do? Watt made Vilma’s amendments “elite” enough to “pass” and “loophole” the bill? Everyone in the firm needs to take a moment to send an email to Vilma at her Texas House email address (attached) to tell her thanks for saving us. Additionally, the other referenced members of the firm are to be congratulated. Finally, keep a long memory. Jaime Capelo tried to shut us down, and we must not forget that when the next election cycle comes around. Watt did Jaime Capelo do for Tony “Two Fer” Canales, Christus, KFATSO & supposedly for the Doctors (the Malpractice insurance went up after this). The Health Care is the one to benefit. So why was Two Fer Pissed at Capelo? ”Vilma's amendment to the product section of the bill converted a situation where originally all product manufacturers making a product that met federal standards (i.e., all cars and all drugs in this country) immune from suit in Texas.” Watt benefited more? The Consumer? Or the Class Action “Slick” Lawyers? ”Now, the bill merely creates a rebuttal presumption that product meeting a federal standard is not defective, which we can overcome by proving any one of three things: Bullshit! He really means three loopholes to exploit. YANQUI "The claimant may rebut the presumption in Subsection (a) by establishing that: (1) the mandatory federal safety standards or regulations applicable to the product were inadequate to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury or damage; (2) the manufacturer, before or after marketing the product, withheld information required by or misrepresented information provided to the federal government or agency that was: (a) material and relevant to the federal government's or agency's determination that the mandatory safety standards or regulations at issue were adequate; and (b) causally related to the claimant's injury; or (3) with respect to the manufacturer of a motor vehicle, or a component thereof, after the product was sold and before the alleged injury occurred, the manufacturer learned the vehicle or component part contained a defect causally related to the claimant's injury and to motor vehicle safety and failed to either; (a) give notice to the federal government, or agency of the federal government, that adopted or promulgated the applicable safety standards or regulations; or (b) give notice by first-class mail to each person registered under Texas law as the owner and whose name and address are reasonably ascertainable by the manufacturer through state records or other available sources, or if the registered owner is not notified, to the most recent purchaser known to the manufacturer." This is a critical amendment for the continued viability of any products case in the state of Texas, because Section 1 gives us the ability to keep a case alive by arguing what we always argue anyway -- the federal standard governing our product is inadequate. We win cases only when the jury buys this argument anyway. Section 2 allows us to attack the credibility of the product manufacturer's involvement or participation in the formulation of the federal standards. In the auto context specifically, we now get to get into evidence all the political b.s. the manufacturers pulled in the '60s and '70s in getting these standards watered down. Section 3 allows us to resurrect a post-sale duty to warn in Texas. under the Dion v. Ford case, Texas recognized no common law post-sale duty to warn. Since 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1411 was rescinded, and watered down, it was a necessary amendment to allow us to continue to make the arguments we used to make that the manufacturer knew its product was defective and failed to recall it. Most importantly, the previous iterations of the amendment were stripped; i.e. (a) the previous version's immunity becomes a only rebuttal presumption; (b) level of proof to overcome presumption is reduced from clear and convincing evidence to preponderance of the evidence; (c) the previous exception contained separate provisions and the word "AND," meaning you had to prove all of them to not be summary judgment'd out: now, it says "OR", which gives us the ability to pick our exception, to tailor them to the facts of the case. (d) the previous exception provided for the fraud on the government stuff to apply only if it was information required to be given by the manufacturer, it now applies to any information they gave to the government, which is a critical distinction in our car cases, where almost all the information given is through the voluntary comments provisions. (e) the legislative history is going to be very helpful on this, because we went from a draconian version, to one that includes these exceptions, which should be very helpful to us in convincing trial courts that this kind of evidence should come in. This cost me a lot of money. If you make any of these mistakes “YOUR FIRED”! In addition to the efforts of members of our firm, which were critical, other lawyers in CC, including past members of our firm, played a critical role. Fil Vela (ROSE VELA’s HUSBAND) (lobbying other legislators continuously, and arranging lobbyists), Billy Edwards (testifying in the committee Braugh and Wigington & Rumley (taking victims to the legislature and assisting with meeting), Sico, White & p.r. efforts) and others constantly worked to keep the pressure on locally and state-wide re: the products issue. They are to be congratulated as well. The fight is not over. We have much greater opportunities as this bill reaches the Senate. We must continue our diligence, and keep working hard to get this bill fixed. We have got to continue to get present and former clients up there for the members of the Senate to see. We must work diligently for the rest of this session to make sure TLR does not immunize tortfeasors from their victims in this state.

County Judge Terry Shamsie told county commissioners last month he expects the county to have a healthy surplus for the next five years - $13 million to $14 million is a conservative estimate, he said - and asked them to think about what they wanted to spend it on. They decided Wednesday to put the money toward building an arena in the middle of the Robstown fairgrounds, next to the soon-to-be-built show barn. Advertisement "This has been a goal that the commissioners court, over several courts, has had as a priority, contingent on funding," Commissioner Oscar Ortiz said. The court has taken care of all the basic needs of the county - road improvements, pay raises and enough money in the general fund to cover emergencies. Now, he said, the commissioners can turn their attention to something new. The arena budget is to be between $20 million and $25 million, which will primarily come from the surplus. The difference will be made up by corporate sponsorship and money left over from the county roads project. The county issued bonds to pay for the show barn. There's still a lot of planning to be done, but John Michael, the project manager for the fairgrounds, said the Heritage Center likely will be about 4,000 square feet, with room to seat about 4,000 people. The inner ring, he said, will be big enough to fit three basketball courts in to allow plenty of room for events such as rodeos and livestock shows. And unlike the American Bank Center arena - which seats about 7,500 - the seats will be plastic and the floor often dirt. "It's a big barn," Michael said. "It will be a nice building, but it's largely a place for equestrian-type events." Shamsie said the Heritage Center will have its own niche to fill and isn't meant to compete with American Bank Center. "It's a different market place," he said. "You're probably not going to have tractor pulls downtown. It's like someone who drives a Jaguar and someone who drives a Ford." Marc Solis, general manager for American Bank Center, agreed. "What we're doing is totally different from what they have in mind," he said.

Vilma negotiated with Joe Nixon, and convinced him to convince TLR that he should look at the amendment, which he agreed to do.

Vilma Luna is our hero, and Jamie Capelo is our enemy. First, Vilma wisely established a working relationship with the Republicans in control of the House. Second, she arranged for me and her to have a meeting with Rep. Joe Nixon, the author of H.B. 4, and did an outstanding job negotiating with him to save our practice. Third, I wrote an amendment that created large exceptions to the products bill as originally written, including exceptions re: adequate standards, misleading the government, or failing to warn of defects, and she caused Nixon to meet with us, and to actually consider it. Fourth, Vilma negotiated with him, and convinced him to convince TLR that he should look at the amendment, which he agreed to do.
Fifth, Greg Gowan and Alex Miller worked diligently with Vilma, as did Joseph Barrientos, to feed her with specific information needed to continue to lobby the other side. Finally, Alex Miller traveled to San Antonio to write specific wording necessary to accommodate the demands of the other side, while allowing us to do what we needed to do. In a full two days of 350 amendments being offered, Vilma's amendments to the products bill, and her work on eliminating the retroactivity provisions, were among only a very few of the amendments that actually were passed, and got into the bill. At 12:30 a.m. this morning, the house passed H.B. 4 with Vilma's amendments in it.
Everyone in the firm needs to take a moment to send an email to Vilma at her Texas House email address (attached) to tell her thanks for saving us. Additionally, the other referenced members of the firm are to be congratulated. Finally, keep a long memory. Jaime Capelo tried to shut us down, and we must not forget that when the next election cycle comes around.
Vilma's amendment to the product section of the bill converted a situation where originally all product manufacturers making a product that met federal standards (i.e., all cars and all drugs in this country) immune from suit in Texas.
Now, the bill merely creates a rebuttal presumption that product meeting a federal standard is not defective, which we can overcome by proving any one of three things:
"The claimant may rebut the presumption in Subsection (a) by establishing that:
(1) the mandatory federal safety standards or regulations applicable to the product were inadequate to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury or damage;
(2) the manufacturer, before or after marketing the product, withheld information required by or misrepresented information provided to the federal government or agency that was:
(a) material and relevant to the federal government's or agency's determination that the mandatory safety standards or regulations at issue were adequate; and
(b) causally related to the claimant's injury; or
(3) with respect to the manufacturer of a motor vehicle, or a component thereof, after the product was sold and before the alleged injury occurred, the manufacturer learned the vehicle or component part contained a defect causally related to the claimant's injury and to motor vehicle safety and failed to either;
(a) give notice to the federal government, or agency of the federal government, that adopted or promulgated the applicable safety standards or regulations; or
(b) give notice by first-class mail to each person registered under Texas law as the owner and whose name and address are reasonably ascertainable by the manufacturer through state records or other available sources, or if the registered owner is not notified, to the most recent purchaser known to the manufacturer."
This is a critical amendment for the continued viability of any products case in the state of Texas, because

Of what my life would mean to me.

Jaime Kenedeno - 11:41pm Aug 28, 2005 Central However I have only experienced a courtesy from very few of you in the room! And you wonder why? I am not wondering I am giving exactly what you have given from the origin of my posting in this room. I have no respect for any who attack me on a personal level and cannot address the issues! Oh well. I am discussing local events we can do something about. No you're not!..You're waging a personal vendetta against Ray and Marie Fernandez because they quit subsidizing you and your family. Is that what they told you? Have you bothered to contact El Defenzor? Homer will set you straight! You greedily held your hand out last Christmas and tried to harangue Mrs.Fernandez into giving you an additional $500.00 Greedily??? I was promised! I did not ask! Just the Supreme Court Dossier I completed for them is a bill for $25K and they said thank you and they will pay me. For me to be patient! OK so I said I will wait no problemo! It is still no problem I can wait! But give me some assurance in writing that South Texas and El Defenzor will be Taken Care of as we discussed?? and when she refused She did not refuse! They lied! you started using message boards to accuse her of marital infidelity accuse Ray of fraud and corruption,allege he can't pay his bills because he won't give you two any more money,and accuse anyone else who pops into your deluded mind of being involved in any number of ridiculous conspiracies. TWIST TWIST TWIST! I used the message boards to wage a public war on KFATSO & the Elite who were trying to get Ray fired and driving Marie nuts! And I went to Marie with the infidelity stuff. She blew it up and then admited it to Ray right in front of Me & My Wife at Red Lobster! This was in Spetember way before this Christmas incident!

I did not mind waiting. I always told them I trusted them to be fair with me! Why would they screw me after everything I did for them! They exposed my name to the wolves and that is why I turned on them! They exposed my family to danger and the danger remains eminent! REMEMBER CATHERINE D UNGER who knew too much? She is dead! Get this straight I never recieved any cash from Ray & Marie for myself. They did not even cover expenses! $40 at Christmas was not a gift it was almost half of the expense I incurred (@ Kinkos) for transferring the book from hardcopy to disc! Gifts?? I wouldnt give Charlie Perfume to one's dog cuz dog smells better! She was intent on discarding us and ignoring her & Ray's obligation! They never subsudized anything for me or my family! I saved their ass! Elwood: try addressing the issues! Jaime Kenedeno - 12:59am Aug 29, 2005 Central (#4 of 4) Remember EB Pedophilia in the Body of Christ is another of my priorties and I wont back down! Oh..NOW it's "pedophilia" that's another of your "priorities" eh,Jaime? Could it be that you allege pedophilia in the local diocese because they have a hand in administering the Kenedy trust..the same trust the Fernandezes are trying to gain control over which you hope will put a sizable chunk of money in your pocket should they win?..the same Fernandezes you're trying to extort now? Like I said dude...I see right through you Father Gerry Appleby (for years) raped 3 friends who were alter boys at St Joseph's here in the Body of Christ. I never got his last name until about 9 months ago! Their parents whipped them for saying what the man of cloth was doing to their buts and penises! They beleived in Father Gerry! Father Gerry Appleby is in Prison now in Florida for raping children after the "Richest Diocese in the World" "reassigned" him! Bishop Rene Gracida has violated children as well according to Court Documents. Also according to Ray Fernandez Gracida wears a thong and enjoys the company of two houseboys on his Rancho Milagro he purchased with the money he embezzeled (stole) from KFATSO> Even the Atorney General had to step in and take legal action! James Plaisted is where I originally began my "crusade" as you refer to it against pedophiles. Plaisted was a Child Psychologist for CCISD and a Deacon at Parkdale Baptist Church. He is the reason Robert Rowling moved to Highland Park! He molested many children while enjoying the trust of their parents! The Caller quashed any and all media coverage here in the Body of Christ! Houston Chronicle could not be quashed! Serpent in the Garden by James Pinkerton! Read it! Do you condone or support this type of stuff? KFATSO just wait till the closet opens up on these crooks! Right Mr BAEN! Groner is the only good guy out of the lot! My regards Dr Groner you are a Class Act! Del Mar College Double Standards - "Where Dreams become Nightmares" dubble - 07:22pm Aug 27, 2005 Central After reading many postings on this website for the past several months, I have decided to post concerning the topic of Del Mar Administrators and the way they continually use the systems to bypass addressing the real problems. When Del Mar College officials make the entire process of a grieving for student an ordeal within itself then something is definately wrong. When Del Mar College Attorney tries to downplay the instances which are reported and mis-inform the public or slant the facts in a way that makes Del Mar College look like they are "investigating" and "looking into" all reports of incorrect conduct, that is WRONG. Del Mar College has the accused, the attorneys, the investigators, and the eeoc representaves all eating lunch together. We have the people being investigated broadcasting the accusers name accross campus until other students come to Mr. Acussed rescue. We have witnesses, recordings, and transcripts which were excluded because they were not a "fit" for the Del Mar Administration's agenda. We have board rules which were not followed but yet no dicipline action was taken. NO Authority, No punishment, No Protection of Students, No Protection of Other faculty. IT ISN"T WRIGHT! I Am Whom I Am - 07:27pm Aug 27, 2005 Central (#1 of 37) No it isn't, obviously the usual is occuring, make the accusers look incompetent so not enough people that even hear about such will take them seriously.. I would take a step back and regroup if I were them and define anothe method to ensure justice is served. dubble - 07:32pm Aug 27, 2005 Central (#2 of 37) Ok - you are who you are - IT ISN"T RIGHT! Intimidation, lack of action and denial. What we have here is a faculty who will never convict one of their own. Famous Quote: "I have tenure, I will never be fired from Del Mar College." Oh yeah - Mr. Acussed might also have alztheimers disease. I invite Ms. Icess Fernandez to ask any appropriate questions to get "the rest of the story." You sound like you may be part of the conspiracy. Oh yeah. One more thing. If the Del Mar College would just acknowledge the wrong that was done and appologize the issue would be settled. You are correct, the usual is being done. The guilty are moving behind the seens, changing grades, giving scholarships, hiring and sponsoring other students to protect themselves. Great news that you can see right through it. Ok Popeye! Jaime Kenedeno - 07:38pm Aug 27, 2005 Central (#3 of 37) Are you the Knight in Shining Armor? I knew chivalry still existed! And the Caller Just printed that story cuz there is no evidence? The proof is already there in black and white! It is Read all over! dubble - 07:44pm Aug 27, 2005 Central (#4 of 37) Oh what's this - looks like another grievance. Sounds like words from a guilty soul! Elwood Blues - 08:33pm Aug 27, 2005 Central (#5 of 37) "If tyranny and oppression come to this land,it will be guise of "fighting a foriegn enemy"..James Madison IAM.."dubble" is Jaime..or his equally batty wife. If you're going to change screen names in a foolish attempt to try to decieve people,Jaime..at least be smart enough to misspell different words than the ones you always do. Honestly,dude..for a mental case..you're entirely too predictable. dubble - 08:45pm Aug 27, 2005 Central (#6 of 37) Hey Elwood, maybe you should do a little more research before you start trying to make assumptions. Anyhow - Mr. Blues maybe you could take a deep breath and digest a few truths that hurt a little. Swallow your pride and assume nothing. Don't give me the benefit of any doubt and don't trust anything I say. Please do your own research for your own agenda. And please don't address me and say that I am somebody else - I am not Jaime. I am not Jaime's wife. I am not you either. So - Please just reply to the content. If you can stick to the issues (unless you have an attention problem) please respond with facts as you know them. Maybe you try to read what people are saying instead of being an English teacher. I have no problem with somebody correcting my grammar or spelling, however those are small issues. The real issues in this situation are much more important than the mis-spelling of a few words. "When somebody lies - somebody looses!" ~ Nemo on El Defenzor
