I love it . I really love it. It seems to make so much more sense than
just thinking something - I mean if we all send in faxes at the same
moment and all the machines in the Capitol start rolling simultaneously
- don't you think that is a lot more effective than just sitting around
and meditating.. Forgive me if I sound irreverent,and I certainly don't
mean to insult anybody's feelings, but it just seems to me that actually
doing something is much more effective than sitting around and wishing
for it to happen.
