Re: The Trilogy of Jenny Wren, the Racoon Slayer.

Excuse me, but I think that this is a fine example of just why
nations, peoples, and social groups all end up warring with each
other. Sir, you should go to that dictonary you so often mention and
read . Your grammer, and word usage levels out at the seventh grade.
Your manners are by far on a much lower level.

 Jen, the only problem I really see with you is the need to continue
to engage an obviously inept soul. Unfortunately there are those upon
whom, attempts to impart wisdom are utterly wasted
