It is great to see someone take a stand with no fear of the outcome! His parents raised this one to stand up for his beliefs. Thank you Dad & Mom!!!

I doubt you would ever be invited. Why it is rare, there are still some people with scruples and principles.
Not that most around here knows what they mean.
