Anyone who says otherwise is simply ignoring the facts.
Thank you for a voice of reason Adrian. Usually when people ignore the facts and make assertions otherwise, especially when done vehemently and repeatedly, there is something they are trying to get other people to believe, and along with that something they think people will do if they believe it. What I'm wondering about Ruth's comments over recent weeks is: 1. What is it that Ruth wants us to believe? 2. What is it that Ruth wants us to do based on that belief? Ruth: could you help us out here? Otherwise, I guess we can start guessing... -David
