I really, really want to not be counted as one of them.

They got my parents to baptize me.

They convinced me for some time to follow their ways.

They even had me agree to be confirmed.


Now, at 47, I am certain beyond any doubt that I'd like to not be a part of that institution and want to make it legal.


I'd like to thank them for the instruction on reading, writing, and arithmetic. That was fine. The REST of it?! Whoa.


Cheers on this beautiful day.


Sincerely,
John J. Gannon
