just because i have saved the drowning man <br />then i shall be forever responsible for him? <br /> <br />i disagree. <br /> <br />i saved a snake and it does not bite me. <br />i sheltered a scorpion, i adopted a crocodile <br />put them in their comfortable homes <br /> <br />and the world has since then become a happier place <br />for man and snakes and beasts.<br /><br />RIC S.
