Never mind, argieland. Just when you thought you were on the verge of making some honest money. How long does this stuff last before it starts either sprouting or rotting? And there's still all those debts to pay with money you don't have. Anybody think God doesn't love you? After all, you are one of the most “bent” states on the planet! And not just because of your compulsory “gayness”.

Was it the pilots then, BWTF cares?

This Rivero Law is more useful than it seemed -but did not even imagine Argentina would use it against themselves-are any of these supply ships registered in Argentina?
