Continue. At least for me, ive heard the arguments that people have presented, and i think this is valid on both sides of this, and i personally, not knowing whats going to happen in the next two days, i personally would vote on the side of supporting it. But if, in the next two days, we find that the situation has calmed itself radically, i would say theres no need for the emergency. So thats how im looking at it. Supervisor haney, were you going to Say Something . I wasnt sure. Supervisor haney no, that was the point. President yee oh, okay.

Hes going to talk to us about it. The book is the road to concord how four stolen cannon ignited the revolutionary war. He will defend that premise for us a little bit later. I want to tell you what my reaction to this book is because i have had the opportunity to read it already. It is one of three books in the last 20 years i read cover to cover in one sitting.
