[Mb-civic] ENOUGH ALREADY!!

[richard haase]

that was a beautiful letter michael danso
and i agree
there is but one god etc
( i made the same bastardization of the original quote of queen elizabeth I
circa 1580s and use it frequently myself;
the original quote denoting the queens aversion to engaging in the active
persecution of her catholic subjects;
eg " there is but one christ and all else is a dispute over trifles ";
original quote )

and dont be so sure michael that me and ian and kyle are gonna let you take
over
and be god so quickly
not to mention cheeseburger and mad dog baker
word mikey
lol
