That could be said about you, as well, sir. And your kith & kin in this group. While this mayt seem to fall under the auspices of rational selfishness, (1) everyone who disagrees with you isn't as terminally stupid as you seem to think they are, and (2) whatever it is, objective (by ANY legitimate definition) it's not. -Miles O'bjective
