LOL... Jim.. I love it.. You did not kill that man last week did you???
But, I think it goes deeper than being an open book. The ³we know all²
world is a very scary place as power corupts and I can give you a billion
examples of how good people use info for bad purposes...
Also, I¹m an open book too. I mean, search google for ³Doug Brown²... It is
me.. Top of list.... So, I can be found too... I live at... 265
Montelluna... Oops.. Too much info.. ;)
Anyhoo, I agree with you but at the same time it is a scary thing... I just
hope freedom always wins....
