Jerry: I hear ya.. PETA also put up billboards with a Mom frying chicken for dinner and the kid looking on and a caption that said something to the effect "Is your Mom a MURDERER"..... That just ain't right, to tell a kid that his mom is a murderer for feeding her family.. and I think THAT is the type ppl (one who sponcer sush ads, and billboards etc, I THINK Jimi was referring too. I agree with Jimi, that whoever put up thoise billboards (There was one not ten miles from my home)... and for them to tell My kids that my wife is a Murderer fopr frying Chicken... I think the reef idea would be too good for these ppl, Chuck
