    Optimo sweatband material?

    A sad note

    MK, I just registered at your site earlier today. Thanks for posting those sentiments. As a preacher for a church of the Lord here in Fort Worth, I don't think I need to tell you where I stand. America would do well to recall the forgotten words of Patrick Henry in 1776, who said-- "It...
