Kathy,
Let's hope so. There are yet signs plastered around teh country encouraging
people to get active and say no. There is an organization established soley
to fight off that project called 40 something, or something 40, I can't
remember. Now, onto the best bathroom question. Depending on the need, I
would say the best bathroom is probably the nearest bathroom? I'm sure God
does get a huge shake of the head at such, but we too can see how other
countries look at us very similarly to him. Who dreams up this stuff. They
have a whole lot more spare time and energy than I.
