Just a nitpick here, and not the first time I’ve seen it. But why the censoring of the name of GOD? With every word imaginable having seen the light of day in this forum, why are you embarrassed to spell it out?  
End of nitpick.

Lots of people won’t write out the name of God. Jews do it all the time, for one. It’s a respect thing.

Oh, and **danceswithcats?**

_All of the inter familial unions weren’t called into question until West Virginia, Kentucky, and Arkansas brought such behavior to the forefront of public awareness._

You can kiss my butt.

Kentucky and West Virginia keep your #%\*(# computer running.

Unfortunately.
