I agree with much of what BOTR has said. My opinion is that AAWA was started with good intentions but fumbled the ball early on. An immature and presumptuous clown merrily stepped into the role of being the "public face" of AAWA. (Reminds me of Joe Rutherford in some ways.) Fortunately the blunders of Bozo were SO large it wasn't long before he was removed from power. I made the mistake of judging all of AAWA by the actions of one clown.
I am not interested in being a part of any organized "resistance." I've done my thing just fine with little help. JunkYardDog has been a good friend and ally. Surprised? Sometimes people are not what others think they are.
My hope is that AAWA will, in time, become what they want to be. I wish them success at putting a thumb in Jehovah's eye. It is satisfying to do so.
