As most of you know, I'm a political idiot and pretty happy to be that way. You all are the people who make sure I actually know something of what's going on. So thanks to
tangleofthorns for this
rant. You are so right. I especially like the part about the brains. And thanks to
crouchback and
m00nglum and
vito_excalibur and
khedron and, well, just about everybody else, for the thoughts and connections that you share about our world. I appreciate your assistance in my struggle not to be a complete ignoramus.
