And, I for one, would rather have Athens' impoverished spending that couple of hours a month at a PTA meeting or maybe just getting some rest.<BR/><BR/>Given the credibility of who is actually running the show (Judge Jones), I'd wager that he will do his level best to keep the focus on what matters. <BR/><BR/>But, to explain my original comment that sparked the controversy, I'd say that the way the ABH put it sounded an awful lot like the disclaimer movies use to assure everyone that they kept in line with the SPCA.
