 Nick,
 
 You sound awfully like an Alliance voter.

        Remember the story of the ant and the grasshopper?
The grasshooper spends the long summer days laughing
and singing , going to the cinema making money for us Force 
shareholders.  Meanwhile the ant spends the summer toiling
in the fields, harvesting the grapes so that we montana shareholders
can enjoy fine wine and a good dividend.
           Come winter the grasshopper is in the cold field shivering and
on the verge of death, meanwhile the hardworking ant is in his
country house nice and warm.
         Suddenly they both hear a rumbling noise, they look up
 just in time to see Mr nufarm spraying poison in their direction. The ant
 runs to the phone to call for help, however to his horror he finds
the line is down and hasnt been fixed for ages.
   Suddenly their throats tighten as they are engulfed in poisoned gas,
dying a horrible death.
         Across at the mansion there is much happiness and merriment as
Nick, Malcom and their sharechat buddies  make a toast to another fine
harvest,  They bask in a warm glow as they think how marvelous it
is to be a shareholder.  Malcom having had to much montana swore he
saw a two headed grasshopper on the windowsill. "Quick phone the press"
he exclaimed. "Oh bugger the phones down."
