RE: [OT] Colateral damage of no importance?
I stay out of mike's stuff.. I don't necessarily agree with everything that he writes on here... I believe in right and wrong, black and white with no room for gray areas. Maybe that makes me a simple ole country boy, but I don't care as I've seen a lot of things in my life and when you go through what I've been through the last 4 years, you realize that the only thing that matters is good friends and being on the right side or right or wrong.

People were present during those time frames. People were people back then, just like they are today. Forget about all the history our historians have supposedly taught you. Stories get exaggerated when people sit around a camp fire at night, having a few cool ones.. Look around you, and you will find that people are allways asking themselves first, whats in it for me. They did it back then too.. Open your closed mind, and you will see that what I'm telling you is true for the past, just as it will be true in the future..
