Thar’s gold in them thar hig-tech hills!!
hi-tech
There are a hundred different reasons to flame hi-tech but complaining that they practice capitalism better than we do and putting us out of business so somebody better do something, just makes you whinny.
Here’s an idea, if you papers are going out of business how about trying something really radical and report the news without your bias lefty filter distorting your stories.
News papers are not a digital media, seen anybody in a chariot lately?
Same problems apply to this site. So… BFH are you joining the suit?
Going for the deep pockets of Hi-Tech.
Why not sue all the Main stream media (television, cable companies and Large Newspapers (NY Times and all large liberal conglomerate newspapers)?
This may lead the way for those who manufacture horse drawn wagons to sue the major car/truck manufacturers.
