Good question August, we sold them all our gold, so I guess and anything goes, Hell even I've probably been sold to the Chinese - i just don't know it yet, but so long as my new owner looks like something like this It might not be so bad. :woot:

Basic human rights, fair work conditions, environment laws or a decent brew :03:

Well they copy and mass produce everything else why not towns!!:doh:

What's next, Disneyland, or maybe the Grand Canyon!!:hmmm:

Either way ,it definitely comes under the heading of wtf.....
