Re: AGTA Bans Synthetics from Shows: Why Now?

Re: Grand Jury to Hear Case Against Jeweler Charged in Fatal Shove Following IJO Show

You have to be smart defending things. Working your whole life hard to enjoy retirement then having it taken away or prevented by whatever just happened between who it happened between that day, shows you how transitory life itself is.
