Excuse me but we make our own dicisions, we are 12 years old, we are specially
ordering the process to make it the best it can be, and what I most can't
figure out why no one understand's is that Kidlug is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
COMPLICATED. It is designed for kids, and you cannot expect kids under 10 to
understand something very complicated. That is the only reason why we do not
have these, and so you know, the package I'm talking about has more than just
the purpose. That is only a paragraph out of this, the rest includes helpful
information, sample logos, warnings, and notices. Please do understand why
this may not be tuned to "LUG Perfection" but I belive that it is very
important for these young adults to have something they can activly
participate in. This is very important to children, being one, I should know
more than any adult. Aaron
