This is a dangerous if not explosive thread to get into, however I have but
one comment too those who have comment about anyone making any feast happen.
You don't like something- then you do it.
The one problem I see more than any other is that there are plenty of people
who "know" and never enough to "do"
nothing personal just a generalization that is obviously true here.
