To all that might be interested...
It's been over 24 hrs... Not a word although 178 previous
e-mails on the subject not counting the ones i wrote.... Not
even a public show of hands from people here that are in
support, against and or think this needs to be addressed..
message received.. I have my own theories as to why it is so
quiet on this subject, but in general for peace and harmony
and good will to all i think the wise thing to do is just
keep them to myself. everybody have a good day, stand tall
if you can and if you can't, avoid mirrors as they never
lie.
