Without doubt. The beauty pageant thing sickens me, due to the Jon-Benet Ramsey(?) murder. That whole thing stunk to
high hell and still does, rather as the whole Michael Jackson thing does. But what annoys me most about the Ramseys is
they have had two chances on British TV to make their case. I can't understand how this could happen, so I can only
guess that they have friends in high places.
