It reminds me of that old movie, "Seven" with Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. One says this with all sympathy for the victims and with the thought that, "There but for the grace of God ...".

The carnal sins are just uglier on the outside. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
