 Oh, i just love RC.  Where we can discuss differances of 
opinion in a civil manner.  Intregrity. civility, Love,  empathy, 
kindness  etc...all cost nothing.  Horses, tack, shoes, Vets, entry 
fees,  land, fences, trucks, trailers, insurance etc...all cost 
something.  Over time i realize my grant to study the Sexual Lives of 
Savages probably won't come thru.  My poetry will never bring even a return 
on my pens and paper.  Since we live in a capitalistic society and 
socialism is dead then i have to be pragmatic about the situation.  The 
purists who want to keep $$ out should realize that Flat Track Racing to me 
injures and kills more horses than endurance ever will.  The walking horses 
look inhumane to me.  So this sport Endurance is gonna remain pure?  
If you can't trust a priest who can you anymore?    Howard,  
how do you figure your Gal Val keeps it up? Does she make a buck how she 
can?  I say go for it... 
 for if money comes in so should all those intangibles 
that cost nothing.  Thats where AERC and the Vets come in and believe me 
folks its coming in and you can sit back and cry PURITY or you can 
shout CONTROL.  tom sites
