Depends on your point of view. The people I have talked to who have seen them in the field view them as the lowest form of proselytizer, arrogant, smug, and condescending all at the same time. If on the other hand, the destruction of native people's cultures and belief systems (i.e. missionary work) is your thing, they'll probably seem like a great bunch of guys. Gee, can you tell which side I come down on? :) -- Brad Coon http://www.geocities.com/nowapan Cry Havoc, and Let Slip the Dogs of War! Avenge 9-11!
