Background checks

[Janos Szablya]

That little that you mention is a lot if you go back to when that support
was innitally given... it did help us expand and kept us going a little
bit longer....

Exposing ourselves to unnessary risk is not in our best intrests.

We look both ways when we cross the street even when we know in our minds
that no cars are coming...
Does that make us paranoid or are we just acting in our best intrests?
