    You not only took a life,but you gave yours up for a life in a cage…and in the aftermath all of the other people you have hurt with your actions…

    Ronnie—Bill WAS correct. Sow is to plant seed & reap the harvest. Sew, is what you do with a needle & thread. I guess he is not such a fool after all.

    It’s actually sow. A fool calling another a fool. Fact check before you try to correct someone.
