    to bring the sounds of the mind to the concrete with such mastery, is a definite push personally, again thank you!

    Unless you are Bob Drake, why would it matter about his personal choices for anything? Our human society has forgotten for the most part what freedom is and means... thank you Bob Drake for helping keep it alive!
