Chet ... I like to think I've grown into the type of woman who can look at another side of a situation. I reread the LL Cool J article, from your standpoint, and have to admit I agree with you. Thanks for your viewpoint and the insight. Us "direct" individuals are not very appreciated because we often make waves and rock the boat. I've gotten myself into very hot water on more than a few occasions due to this side of my personality. What never ceases to amaze me is that a group of people will discuss a subject, vehemently, but when it comes time to be accountable, no one speaks up. I'm the one who does and it lands me in trouble most of the time. So ... I do appreciate your directness, even if we don't always agree, because of the courage it takes. Jenny
