She didn't say "he may be crazy, but don't kill him". She knew and her silence was evidence of that.Okie Food Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11780250774198989836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-75454339834162559442007-12-20T09:39:00.000-06:002007-12-20T09:39:00.000-06:00Shanna--I think that's the key.
