That's the problem, arguably, there's no way to measure the countless imperceptable differences it makes to people everyday.<br /><br />On the upside, the Film Board was lucky in the budget.

I love horses, but this sport is elitist/involves a limited number of expert people and benefits people outside the country as much if not more than people here.

Sports with far higher participation numbers, far greater levels of fan interest, and frankly far more relevant as sports should be getting a much larger piece of the pie than these two areas.Emmet Ryanhttp://www.action81.comnoreply@blogger.com
