It doesn't sound like a safe place. What happens if you rip the shell from a turtle? They may die. I tossed my shell once, and felt wonderful, and was thunderstruck that I had ever chosen to carry such a burden. But I was very, very high, and in a very safe place. > [Marsha] > > They should trust authority WHY? > > Hell NO! The authority is so messed up, if I >were them I wouldn't trust it at all.
