It's only one step removed, but, like many things in life, the means may be as morally important as the ends.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17500512717933853171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37430297.post-1164164447794999182006-11-21T21:00:00.000-06:002006-11-21T21:00:00.000-06:00You know, I almost think my linked addition at the...You know, I almost think my linked addition at the bottom deserves a post of itself.
