Why not just say your a Quaker in the beginning they are wonderful honest people . I am now even more skeptical of this plan because now instead of an honest good group to promote civility among people becomes a group started like many others with an agenda even for good , with a little hidden agenda

I am aware of the issue you have with the name of the group, but think that it is much ado about nothing. Clearly, based on comments found across the Talk of the Villages, there are people that are here to only cause controversy and engender disruption and anger. I appreciate the idea of a group of people assembled in friendship and respect to discuss interesting issues with kindness and consideration being the guiding principle. The name is neither being disrespectful, or of any matter to it substance of the group.

I’ve have no problem with the group but I am more then a little surprised that you as a Quaker are saying that you thought so little of the connection to society of friends and that you thought it wouldn’t mean anything. And again we could use more Quaker’s and there teaching especially about war and that comes from a guy who could sum up his whole life when asked what I did, and my explanation always is that I spent 40 years of my life trying to keep bad governments in power or to help put bad rebels into power all over the world and failed miserably at it but for the most part we’ll paid lol

I’ve had peace of mind my whole life , I wouldn’t trade a day of it , I was a professional I live with no regrets and at 82 just came back from Thailand where I went right after shots , had to suffer when I got there by being quarantined in a luxury hotel for 10 days with a Thai friend , I look forward to many more adventures in my life and embrace the future and what it holds sorry for me , well thank you but life has a always will be great
