Politics is a game played by dishonest people to gain an unfair advantage!

Never under estimate the strength of a cornered coward.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

I believe this is a picture of Mr Mears' prior 1995 taken from a video called "Archery its history and forms", written and produced by Mike Loades, from Running Wolf Productions.
He is an interesting fellow to watch and read about if your got a lot of time to kill.....Bill
