Hi, Wendy, In any band I was ever in, I was always the guy who wasn't getting involved in the squabbles, who continued to be able to talk with each feuding member. I believe that you can have any opinion you want. It's your actions that matter, and that speaks louder than any loudspeaker. Thru my interaction here, I've learned that it takes all types to make this world, and further, it takes all types, working together, to make this world a better place. I really value the lessons I receive every day from you people. People who differ from each other greatly and have banded together to defeat a common foe make for some of the most riveting reading. Read about M. K. Ghandi, or "Citizen Soldiers" by Stephen Ambrose. Take care.
