Re: Enough is enough
HI Gregory
As one of the 'anti-nukes' in question I can say that you are right on the mark.
I haven't posted much in the last few months and you all still go and rip each
other a new one. And then some of you expect me to respect your opinions???
Hey, I thought for awhile you were pretty nasty to me, but at times you're
worse to each other. There ARE many people on this list whose opinions I
respect, though not always agree with, and I hope that those people can lead the
way for thje rest of you.
Peace
Norm
