I for one, would like to keep it that way. There are plenty of other places to vent, rant, spew thoughtful or derisive verbiage. This is not one of them.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">I, like most others on this list and in our varied professions that all fall loosely under the vast umbrella called the "Entertainment Industry" am not shy and I have some rather strong opinions about recent and current political events, and I am not afraid to voice them! However if you wish to discuss them with me, we will have to meet at a more appropriate place such as a local real world bar or political rally or march. But not here! Please not here!<br><br><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Michael Powers</span><div>USMC '65-'69<br><div>ETCP Rigger #820 (Ret'd)<br><div><br></div></div></div></div></body></html>
