Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 alright everyone's got a point, let's get back to Maggs and other's timely words and get back to biz on this. fighting amongst ourselfs only helps our enemies. I was disappointed but not enough to want Rob to stop or invalidate what he did, we are all doing the best we can and Rob has as much right as me or anyone else to do it as he see's fit. Rob and all those that went did a great thing and I want to leave it at that. There is something to having a moderate message. It reachs people that would not otherwise glance at that media. Many people simply don't know what we know and so cannot understand our apparently rabid stance. They don't know because instead of looking for themselves they get herded like sheep by sound bites and lying doctors. I would have done it differently but I didn't do it, Rob and you others did it and God Bless all of you for doing it.
