That'a view then again you also like Terry McCrann. Lack of critical thinking I would have thought. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

That's why I went into legal studies and then joined the police instead of following my initial passion, history. I don't want to teach, and the other jobs related to that field are way too niche. |
Might assist in getting rid of gender based harrasmsent at some police stations and in policing careers. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |
