Hello Mr. Landry,
I am terribly sorry for doing this to you. This message was
meant to be sent to you personally, not to the list, but as I am just a
e-mail novice, I made a mistake. This does not mean that I do not stand
by my defense of the kids today, but I should have taken a more
appropriate course of action. All of the problems you mentioned are
extreme problems that we as a society and our politicians will have to
deal with in the very near future.
The only way to explain the extremely irritated tone of my
previous message is to blame it on the Texas heat and marching band.

Have fun!
