George,

Yes I noticed that there were no websites upholding Cameron and I absolutely agree with your assessment. That is why I walked out of the RLDS/c-not-of-c in 1988. I already saw the writing on the wall. Well, the homosexual thing was a shocker, but I knew they were determinately headed down the wrong path and were going to allow no obstacles.

I did make a very nasty prediction about the RLDS/c-not-of-c to my husband at the beginning of all this. Sorry to say it is almost there now.
