Dear whoever send a letter

I know that Michael Moore is too meaty for some but

He's happy to piggy size is and he makes no bones

about in but in his message is the real meat of the

matter. After all the last long liver at 113 years

old ate greasy food smoked a ciger aevery day and may

have had other other unmentioned vices just try and do

good . Hurting others hurts you. Earthy Penelope
