Geez Yoshie -- sometimes you sound Vulcan. Ever go bowling? Down some beers
and shots? Yell at the moon?

One can easily point to the downside of the left (and there are a fair
number of humorless, self-righteous prigs who claim they wish to advance the
species -- I've worked with them, marched with them, nearly strangled them
on occasion) without donning the same straitjacket. That this rather simple
concept perplexes you might serve as an alarm bell.
