Yup, it's not fair to generalize about anything just from conversations on a message board for sure.... in many ways its too exposed, but that's its strength in other ways too, isn't it ? .... one of those intense paradoxes where magic lives sometimes :o))

Well, hopefully they'll at least go and vote -- at this point that would answer my prayers, tho when the war started it felt like the protest momentum would carry a whole lot further than that .... what people say and what they decide they can live with later are such very strange things, I sometimes wonder how we ever have the gaul to decide what 'mental illness' is or who is 'not dealing with reality'? !!! :o(((((

I'm still wondering if I should get involved again, maybe send out an update to all those who wrote me from the petition site? But then I don't want to undermine Jake's gains woth CBS in anyway .... any feel on this? wait more? too late, issue is too cold already? other?
