Personally I found today's Doonsbury to be more offensive than usual: racist and misogynistic. How about handing that out on a flier as well and see what the general populous thinks.<br><br>GS<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

What is wrong with you people?<br>
<br>
I have never been in a fight in my life. There have been times where<br>
people have punched me in the face but I just turned and walked away.<br>
Sure I loose my temper with words but if you can't distinguish between<br>
that and someone who is prone to violence, you are the one who needs<br>
the reality check.<br>
<br>
Nothing is going to happen, likely Crabtree will not even show up. If<br>
he does I can promise you it will not "come to blows." We are grown<br>
men. To think otherwise is just to buy into Crabtree's hype.<br>
<br>
Come see for yourself on Tuesday.<br>
