There isn't enough food in the world for 500,000 HPBs!? And can you imagine what would happen if they all decided to have a convention?? The entire gravitic constant of the Universe would change!

My view is this whole debate about leadership is bull.
The Mc.Cain note I made was meant sarcastically, its

I think we need at least 500000 HPB's to get our acts
together here on earth, else it is goodbye tada..next.
