Word about Article One:

I have read through Article One and will come back - maybe today later -
and make comments.

Sorry about the italics in Article 9 - I don't know why that happened.

Any remarks I make - and I will be making some - are strictly my
Opinion and an attempt to understand what is laid down here in
Article One.  It will take the form of a discussion - of sorts.


If anyone has read this - Thanks.
