Ray,
You mean ole' one note, 'lock the borders', 'tro' da' bums
out', 'you're not
here to be interviewed, you're here to listen to my lecture', Louie? Never
heard of him :-).
Yeah, I guess there is a certain monootone to what he says. As a
Canadian, I can't agree with everything that he says. Nevertheless, I
get a chuckle over his observations about how the American worker is
being treated by American business.
In "Tte Foolish Dictionary" by Gideon Wurdz, published in 1904, there is
an entry at "pro and con" letting us know that these are prefixes of
opposite meanings as in "progress and congress'. Maybe what Lou has
discovered isn't very new after all.
