You left out the part about giving up any semblance of a normal life, but sure...it's their choice, and I support their right to make it. I was only saying that they're pretty darned laughable to have made that choice, and I stand by that. If *I* had 10+ million bucks and felt like donating some of it to a cause that I believe in, I think I'd manage to find a way to do so without having to wear flowing white robes and a Burger King crown. The fact that they didn't is what makes them laughable. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
