Wobble......you make an excellent point when you say that they have no power over you! I feel the same way. Just a bunch of uneducated men that are making themselves feel or seem important. It's really quite comical!
Stonewall....I attended the Salisbury Assembly Hall a couple of times. It was a 3 hour ride for me one way! My last assembly there was on a Superbowl Sunday. I remember leaving early so I could make it back home to watch the big game and one of the brothers from my hall asked me if I was staying to help with the clean up afterwards. Needless to say I chose the Superbowl. Last time I went to Salisbury.
