We are being treated like a paying customer, not a member!

Look I don't know enuff' about squat to get involved in the pensic affair, but
I do know that the day that the kingdoms involved, as unit, offer the coopers a
cohesive and complete contract for the time that we do occupy their space, we
will be treated like cattle, and or children. I am not the king nor will I
ever be the king, but I know of several people who, myself included have
helped to convince hotels to let us take over their space and let us get as
many people as we can get to pay for the privelige. It is not that hard to
build and propse a contract to people concerned. If anyone can do that then
WE will be able to arbritrate the days and rules for the time we are there.

I don't complain becsause I cannot change what is going on, but by your own
words you can change what is going on! So get pissed and get off your soapbox
and do something! I have tried to convince people to do the right thing, but
no-one listens to the private when even the generals don't do SQUAT!

Go ahead and flame me, I have tried to get the stuff in order when I have seen
it going to hell, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY!
