[Fmpro] "Freedom Of Expression"

[bipcress@comcast.net]

Will you marry me? I'll have to get divorced first, and then transform into 
a woman, but it will all be worth it if I can spend the rest of my life 
fighting alongside you! All kidding aside Evan, reading your post made feel 
as though suddenly there are now two people on my lonely little island in 
the middle of the ocean - an ocean of not water, but of mostly sheep, cattle 
and, of course (as you point out), the few predators. God bless you and your 
precious mind, and please - count me as your friend. (Thinking as you do you 
are going to need all the friends you can get - and there won't be many.) -
