And to a few newspapers.

You said it well, missie. Well done.

Amen.

(Still haven't seen it yet--they actually said IWG was the"witches'" guild?). Another ethical/moral lapse, regardless of the presumed "humorous" intention.

But, consider--next time you see an interview on TV, *any* TV--how editing and "misspeaking" can affect the apparent "reality" of what you see.
