Dearest Grant --
I'd like to thank you for the splendid dissertation on baloney and bile. I'm pleased you are articulate and intelligent, but the best way to exhibit those qualities would be to avoid writing vacuous bumper sticker philosophy and tired cliches -- though I was impressed with "trepidation", a fine word. Well done!!
My goodness, but you really got your knickers in a twist over my "Leftist" post didn't you?
Judged solely from your post (which I didn't get, unfortunately, but at least you had the good judgment to include it here, in a generous act of bi-partisanship) what, exactly, is the name of the parallel universe you inhabit?
If you really are interested in a dialogue, you're always welcome here at Mill Creek in Otego, NY>, because I don't really believe this is the correct forum for a pissing match.
Best of good fortune to you. And Grant? Try some Rolaids for that dyspepsia you suffer from. It'll help.
Will
