Accusation after accusation...assumption after assumption.&amp;nbsp; No one gets it...Not true.&amp;nbsp; SOME get it NOW.&amp;nbsp; Few understand/understood.&amp;nbsp; But now, there are some that do.&amp;nbsp; I do only what I'm here to do.&amp;nbsp; Only what I choose to do.&amp;nbsp; I am&amp;nbsp;guided by a force much stronger than "luck".&amp;nbsp; There will come a time when&amp;nbsp;I'll be looked upon as a person.&amp;nbsp;
