Killarney I think that a percentage of OLO writers overreact to what is said, when in actual fact it is your own way of expressing what you say, what you actually stated had nothing to do with what Yuyutsu brought up in their post,which to me was stupid, still we are all different in how we think, keep up the writings it saves us from getting Altzheimers.

I wish that we could reach the stage where those who profit from war are sent off to fight the war. I wonder if we would instantly have a lot fewer wars.
