Subject: Re: Nobel prize winner dies at Wakulla
Barry, let it go. This is like a drive by shooting where baby gets
killed. We are as much at fault as Stone, we are the ones who made it a
big deal, when in fact it is bullshit, not worth dying for, and clearly
not worth this mans's extremely valuable life.

 Nobody gives a shit about the WKPP or what we have done, any more than
they will give a shit about Stone in two weeks. 

 It is what it is, leave it alone. We have our own rules and methods,
and we just need to follow them to avoid this happening to us, and we
need to move on. Nobody listened to us in the past, they are not going
to start now, and now it makes no difference. Let's concentrate on
ourselves.

 There is nothing you can say to TV that will help the situation, tell
them to go jump. This is not a good outcome for any of us.
