Who cares what you believe, any more than they care what I believe? You know what opinions are like, right? You got one, I got one. So what? Will it change the course of events if you convince someone you're "right" -whatever that means? No more than it will if I do the same thing.

I've decided that too much outrage is bad for my adrenal glands. Good luck with your opinion.
