I am sure that you understand where I come from when I make that statement,

that you have to trust another brother to have your back when he says he will.

and in that word, that extends to not only individuals but to every walk of my life.

If we do not have this trust then we are all just a huge biker club with no rules ...

and I do not understand your comment that a signed treaty is not an obligation .?

and of course, I do not expect you to believe everything I believe ...
