  The owner of Macdonald, whosesoever it is, has to have or be worthed more than 2 billion dollars...If they don't...They are mentally slow...

  McDonald (MCD) is on the Big Board, New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).  Trading at about $48 or 49 per share.  More than a billion shares outstanding, about 78% institution-owned.  I track this stock on a daily basis.  Bot some at $28.

  Joan Kroc, worth an estimated $2 billion when she died in 2003, gave $1.5 billion to the Salvation Army. She also left $200 million to NPR and millions to other worthy causes.

  (She was the widow of Ray Kroc, McDonald's founder) 

  NPR being a "worthy cause" is debatable.

  Uhm, no.  The reasion the ship is sinking is because of global warming.  In 30 or so years, when it's out of hand, planned parenthood will take on a whole new desperate meaning.

   Thanks for the hearty laugh!

  It sounds like you are a fan of Al Gore science, in which case you will indeed believe the Earth will be underwater in 30 years.  Actually, didn't he predict that Long Island would be underwater in 10 years?

  Pssst...did ya hear...according to one show I saw on the Discovery Channel, Cows are the leading cause of global warming due to the huge creation of methane gas given off by their waste.

  And that ain't no bull$#@^....

  Oh and according to a growing number of Scientist, Global Warming is actually a naturally occuring phenomenon that cycles every 100 million years or so. And it wouldn't matter if Humans populated the planet or not (Compliments of Penn & Teller from their syndicated show on Showtime, Bull$h!t).

  Oh well, have fun folks.

  Correct, SirMetro!

  And I don't think there are too many SUVs running around the surface of Mars either.  (For those who aren't aware, Mars is experiencing exactly the same warming pattern, due to cyclical solar flaring.  I.e., THE SUN IS IN A HOTTER PHASE.  THESE THINGS HAPPEN NATURALLY, NOT BECAUSE OF GEORGE BUSH.)

  The only person who'd get billions from me is NASA.  We desperately need a way off this sinking ship.

  Have you seen the movie "The Titanic"? Have you seen how James Cameron is interested in the tomb of Jesus...Have you seen the movie "Poseidon 2"....
