LAMS,
I am enjoying this discussion too(except it's making me want to drink a cold "Bass"

in a glass!)lol I take your point, like I said my 1st thought was "Quint" too! I can see Gordon at that Town Meeting scratching his nails on the chalkboard to get everyones attention and then singing "Sit Down Young Stranger" or something. That is what Gordon would do...come out with some great song to grab everyones attention(i.e. "Black Day in July" or "Edmund Fitzgerald") in an intelligent way. Maybe this IS a dumb question - I guess an argument could be made for all three roles.

"If Jesus had a reason,
I'm sure He would not tell,
We treated Him so badly,
How could He wish us well?
There's rockets in the meadows,
And ships out on the sea
The answer's in the forest,
Carved upon a tree,
John loves Mary,
Does anyone love me?"
