hopefully, will never know who I am. I have NO RESPONSIBILITY to prove to anything to you. WHO ARE YOU and WHY DO I HAVE TO ANSWER TO YOU? Don't you have anything better to do that to follow me around and ask INANE questions? REALLY?? I know hippies here in northern California and I grew up with them. You don't show any of the live and let live qualities my godparents and family they have. By the way, The correct way of spelling the word you were so valiantly trying to spell is "YOU'RE", a contraction of you & are,NOT YOUR, with means to possess to own something.

You make stupid judgements and show your ignorance EVERY TIME YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH, so to speak. I HAVE a right to say what I want to say and when I was making my point in the earlier statement, I wasn't talking to you, so why are you trying to attack me? You REALLY don't want to continue what you're doing. Leave me alone and I will IGNORE you. How bout that?
