do. It is not up to me because if I were going to write someone about something it would be trying fo find a cure for AIDS. I am not your young mother who this would have any bearing on. I would not whine about it because daughter past this age, granddaughter has her own mother to guide her. This is just not high on the totem pole for my interests. If I lived in Texas, if I had a younger daughter, then I would probably be vocal. As it is, I do not fit into the category of caring or not caring if mandatory. I would much better concentrate on getting the boys home from endless warfare.
