CW4 Private RallyPoint Member Its pretty slow this afternoon. Not too many RP Members out there posted or commenting. I don't what to tell you about this post. Very interesting I think is the key world. If I showed my better half this link (Animal Kingdom Rights Lover) she would say this is a very bad article and they shouldn't put an Elephant through this.
