Who are the biggest "Fools" of them all?
Can you imagine working at this outfit. It has a little over 500 employees with the following statistics:

3 have been arrested for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

The same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws designed to keep the rest of
us in line.
