Maybe I over-reacted, and then again.

In the past month more than one person has been accused of taking
money to promote some government positions that were put forth as
their own opinions.

The world is so full of 'product placement' you amost can't tell
what is true and what is said because someone paid someone some
money.

Mark and I are quite close so maybe I took it more strongly.
I sort of think of him as a second son.

I know Nancy didn't mean it, but so mnay things are said that 
aren't meant but are mis-interpreted I thought I should say
something.
