You know, in the time that it took you to type all of that in here, you could have researched the answers yourself already. Unless you were being really lazy and just copied and pasted all that into the text box. Anyone would be out of their mind to actually give you the right answers to this anyway. Thats whats wrong with America these days as it is. No one want to work for what they get, they expect everything to be handed to them.
