Re: Re: HI Hiking I gotta give big dittos to what Gene just posted. HI is not fun if you run afoul of the Native Hawaiian people, or the drug crazy "mainlanders" who end up derelict there. I have for man... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: The REAL Seargeant Rock? Heavy Good, Here is the text of a PS to my previous email to you. I hope you are well and peaceful, as you may be. The problem with your notion of free speach is that it is as faulted as your ... |
