Yes I know. They are totally brainwashed. It's that "Did you get a warm
feeling?" crap. I used to love winding them, and the Jehovah's Witnesses, up on
my front door, by using their arguments one against the other. I can think of
much better ways to get warm feelings. LOL

a
"hot-spot", that is a distinct possibility, and yet they all want to go to Salt
Lake City. Talk about lemmings. LMAO.
