As usual, a once a week check is all it takes to observe the worst in people. I guess every vegetarian is Hitler, everyone who drinks is Stalin, and everyone who eats meat and drinks is Ben Franklin. (apologies to Godwin, but I must consider the probable limitations of the protagonist's ability to recognize a wide variety of historic individuals).
However, I must recognize the relationship between tragedy and comedy, and what a thin line there is between one and the other.
Thanks for the comedy, John 10:10, I will never take you even remotely seriously again. To me, unless you have some divine revelation concerning even the most rudimentary form of kindergarten logic, you will forever remain a joke.
