We certainly made our strong beliefs know to our elected Board of Directors.  What makes you think we did not do likewise with our government/political officials? 

Well, Norm, I don't know about "we" but you certainly did let us know, and we ignored you.  For that, I admit we were wrong.  Who else made their strong beliefs know (sic) to us?  BTW, what did the government/political officials you talked to say to you?  Did you really ASK?  If not, why not?  Oh, and I made that statement because you failed to inform Reynolds in a post what you discussed. 

What political clout?

Well, I thought you knew I was being sarcastic. 

I only have truth and conviction and a number of people that in this case agree with me.

Me, too, but as each of us sees it.  Or, are you a "wimp" because you do as you believe and not as I believe? 

Norm, sticks and stones can break my bones, but "wimp"?  Really, I've been called lots of things but that's not the one I usually hear about.    I prefer stronger names.

BTW, I hope you can see some humor in this exchange.  I'm not really upset that you called me a "wimp."
