Oh, brother....I was stating a g*d-d*mned opinion. I did not hold a
gun to anybody's head and claim you had to do things my way.
For the feeble-minded: I think that if you are living alone,
the possibility exists that you may become more intolerant of others;
I am not claiming that living alone instantly makes you intolerant.
However, from all the intolerant replies I recieved, I am beginning 
to believe that is true.:-)

That is silly. I don't give a flying leap what you do with your
life. There seems to be some sort of knee-jerk reaction here; if
you post something at variance to the prevailing opinion, you get
flamed instantly.

	t's just a darn good thing that I can give as good as I get,
or I'd be upset, hurt, and wishing that someone would give me a hug.
