with all due respect, jester, i think you are being a bit hypocrital.
just because you felt it was inevitable why did you feel the need to
post this picture?
that sounds like the excuse typically heard that if i didnt do it
someone else would.
oh well...now you have given us all a choice , which i am sure, alot of
us never wanted to make. but then we are all grown adults and can think
for ourselves now cant we?
