That is one *heck* of a disclaimer! And genuinely humorous,
too. :) For some reason, it conjures up in my mind this image
of a transparent, plastic man, slowly but surely bubbling up
with brown sludge from the feet to the tip of his hollow head.
Whether or not your opinions are shared by others, I appreciate
your ability to blow it all off in the end, and make it known
that being considered "wrong" doesn't bother you. I don't
personally have an impassioned feeling on the subject, because
it is obvious that there is no wholly "right" answer to the
nebulous debate, regardless of how strongly others might choose
to assert their opinions. This is a quality which applies to
many other subjects on the list as well, yet some people con-
tinue to insist that their truth must be the only one. It's
hard not to chuckle sometimes. Thanks for another reason to
do so!
