NOTE: Sorry for the delay and inconvenience. Madonna's hacker at Digilink sent a dozen malicious viruses and trojans to my IP address, trying to completely block my internet access, in a criminal attempt at barring me from updating the site. He threw a little punk hissy fit after the article Housing Discrimination was posted. Once again, they are trying to destroy my rights to free speech and criminally so.
