Listen, I prefer not to be called an idiot, especially since you
don't know me.  I could be an idiot in person, after all, but from
action alone I usually find it hard to judge someone.  I thought about
it for awhile before I decided to do it.  If there were some cause (no
matter how small) that you supported, don't you think there'd be
strength in numbers?  That's what I felt, and so I did it.
