> I've always been an advocate of space exploration (any >exploration for that matter), but at such a tremendous price for many >fruitless missions, the money could be better spent, just like Stu >mentioned.

And has admirably supported the Ti-cats all these years! You just lost a friend buddy! Why should Hamilton get the Jets, when they've got Toronto, Buffalo and Ottawa all within a closer drive than anything around here. If the Jets leave, the nearest teams will be in Calgary and Edmonton, 10-12 hours away by car. Of course, there's no guarantee they'll stay put either. Beisdes, Hamilton itself is a little smelly city. Why not just give the franchise to a nice, clean place like Mississauga, and let the Hamiltonians commute? -- Stu, King of CSCSS umcroall@cc.umanitoba.ca "Sara dear, our carriage awaits!"
