The two tasks will certainly overlap if the opportunity presents itself... These may seem like "goals" but, if we can get the entire group unified under one goal we can start to make PLANS!  This is where the largest amount of group strife comes from... massive confusion because we all have goals that don't necessarily coincide...We need to select a puropse--stick with it--and from that comes the plans.This probably all seems a little confusing-- and, granted, I am rambling--but, it will become more clear once I have the time to actually write everything out in detail..Right now, I request a vote: find the swords ourselves or get an army and fight for them...Let me know what you think:  <a href="mailto:lizbauman@cox.net">lizbauman@cox.net</a>For now, I'm done... </blockquote>
