Appreciate that Dave,  but there is no disagreement here. I argued both
of these positions and more so I don't get what you mean. Seems to me,
Robert is simply looking for a fight with me, calling me a narrow minded
christian and what not. I'm not a Christian and I'm not narrow minded.
He jumped on me when I replied to Otto and has been on my ass ever

RJ simply misses his crazy love affair with his antagonist to the West,
but I don't want no part of that crazy love. 



Fat Charlie the Archangel 
Sloped into the room 
He said I have no opinion about this 
And I have no opinion about that 
Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon 
He said well I don't claim to be happy about this, boys 
And I don't seem to be happy about that 
Fat Charlie the Archangel
