Sorry Ed but it is not about the environment.  It is about the person =
seed.  I am not saying that everyone who hears you should jump on Dabo.  It
was just a reference for the various people and how they can react to
hearing about Dabo in your case.  For Jesus it was his teachings.

Some people get it, others thought about it, some never got it.
