- Me personally? Hell no I think its damm harsh. What sane human being could
- stand up and say "I think you should die because you thought of 'doing' Mrs.

- my own belief and hoping one of you can help me with my "self deception" (if
- it is such) and at the same time try and understand how you people can be
- so convinced Hes not there. Just to restate my intentions for being here.
