Fighting Fire with Fire

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

Ok, so I really don’t have much time to write this now. But I’ve really been seeing this illustration develop in my mind and I wanted to at least throw it out there, even if it is just a rising thought in my mind. Maybe just a brief outline or list of thoughts:
