Edward, Don't apologize for having and voicing your opinion, that is what is wrong with this world today...the truth has to be candy coated for some people. This is a Civil War list, it should be taken for granted that we will speak, respectfully, and not aimed at any certain PERSON, the way we feel, anyone who has a problem with this is childish, and doesn't have an understanding of debating an issue.
