Mike, when you talk about my webpage you are talking about my home.
In my home I express myself the way I want. Granted I was wrong to
try and advertise the opinions in my home here, in someone else's
home. However as I said I must learn to control my expressions and
opinions in other peoples homes because I must respect their wishes.
However I will not change all of my core values and beliefs because I
am not what you want me to be. The most I can do is to act the way
that is appropriate to act in this forum and keep my opinions to
myself. By keeping them to myself I mean in my home. I will admit
though that many of the opinions that are in my home do not truly
express what I feel and I am in the process of revising them to
reflect my rational view rather than my inflamed one.
