Hi Floyce-
I deleted a very harsh and invective laden post that would have been very 
unproductive. I'm going to err on the side of the old Disney cliche (further 
exposing myself as petty bourgeois and purge worthy I'm sure) of not saying 
anything if I can't say anything nice. You're welcome to think mine a 
feigned shock and offense, symptomatic of my stale liberal political 
correctness, I'm no longer interested in your opinion or ideas.

Nate
