What makes you think there are so few? Mercenaries are basically representing both America and Russia in Syria right now.

This isn't true, talk to folks in downtown Seattle. Anecdotally, I have a group of 5 that rents a car to go hiking about every other weekend. Splitting $70 between 5 people twice a month beats buying a car by... a lot. Know tons of oth

Seems like it would have been a better idea to host the meditation session before the presentation off of livestream. Blocked out some time on my calendar for this!
