Doug Bonesteel,
It would seem that you and Paul have some major things in common. Principles .. Intelligences .. Convictions .. A hatred of bullying .. And a high disregard for foolish decisions.
Don't let the misguided bullies get you down. Within a playpen of missing smarts and brights, you really shine.
If you ever want to meet to explain your frustrations to sympathetic ears, let me know.
I am myself am not prepared to let bullies push me around on issues where corruption is the order of the day or the economics and environment are sacrificed. My memory will be extremely long, my street smarts, and my wits exercised as long as my brain willingly functions.
Thanks,
Arthur
