Gosh B.D.

I really don't see it that way. I have the greatest respect for Kyle and 
his images but thought he might have been too quick to condemn. You 
know, the old "mile in my dockers" kinda thing? If it seemed ill- 
advised  on my part then perhaps he will accept an apology? Maybe even 
turn the other cheek and let me wonder why he referred to Hajj as a 
moron?  Maybe we all need to sit back, take a stress pill and relax?  
One thing I keep coming back to is the original issue of "fakeness". You 
say altered, I say enhanced? You say potato and I say American Fries?

Peace

Walt
