Maybe I'm just a little slow today.  Would you care to rephrase
this argument in two or more sentences?  That way I can attempt to
follow what appears to be, in this form, a completely disjointed
morass of sanctimonious assertions.

On a different note, I'd be interested if someone could tell me
where the term "yuppie" originated (i.e. who first used it?  Time
Magazine or the like?)  The first time I remember hearing it was
on a Mark Russell comedy special a couple of years ago.
