[nabs-l] [Nfbnet-members-list] Threw Our Eyes interview, Ride into History, Race for Independence, Wed. June 22, 8:00 pm EDT

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Chris,

         Yeah guys. Don't we spend our lives seeking acceptance by 
ol' Sighty? Must we carry this, not offending people nonsense to our 
own discourses? I would like it if we just lighten things up  a 
little around here. If someone get's offended at lease things'll be a 
little interesting.
