I suppose this will offend some and clearly it is OT, but I believe that
there are times when it is important enough to do something that may be
unpopular to some, simply because you know in your heart that it is the
right thing to do. This is one of those times. Please, do not comment on
list. If you take exception to me posting this, send your comments directly
to me: rjjmsj@charter.net Or boot me off the list. Also, the attachment
says what needs saying...if you agree, pass it on, but let's avoid the
"right on"s and the "I agree"s or the "this doesn't belong on this
list"s...these do not add to what is already said in the editorial. Direct
your anger to me, or your agreement by sending this onward. We HAVE to take
our country back from those who seek to destroy it...whether by terrorism,
or by imposing the will of the few on the many. Those who seek it harm have
the media to help them. I only have the people I know...and that includes
these lists.
