Wow Bupp, I feel you have lost your way bud. I disagree and your opinion does matter so I’m not discounting that. We are seeing history in the making and the world will be a safer place. Be patient, you will see. I’m not sure where your TDS is coming from or where you get your information, I feel your are being misinformed.
