[Vision2020] Contractors

[keely emerinemix]

Pat, would you prefer that we "do things like that" again, somehow, if it means causing harm to young people?  
You seem angry that care and concern are shown to vulnerable people, and I know you're a Christian.  How does that work in you?  I'm not trying to slam you.  I'm trying to understand you.

Take care,
Keely
