Listening to the uber-Ralph would be appropriate because he won't shut up
and Stoney can't hear what he has to say about his being a messenger from
God and he's here to spread his money around to make little kids happy, oh
and nuke Iraq or send in 1M troops, or outlaw same-sex marriage, and what do
I think about that to which my answer is I prefer not to share that
information.

I finally had it with him yesterday morning and threw him out.  He proved
himself to be a sexist prigg (something I suspected all along), and couldn't
understand what would piss me off so much by saying there are just certain
things a woman shouldn't do.  I was carrying the sandwich board out to the
street - a daily event, and apparently one I'm supposed to hire someone else
to do for me.  I told him not to ever tell me there were things I couldn't
do.  Even when he came back later and tried to explain that he didn't say
there were things a woman couldn't do, but rather things they shouldn't do,
I refused his apology.  He just wasn't getting that telling a woman she
shouldn't do something is ultimately the same as telling her she can't.

So, you're welcome to add that to Stoney's story, since I'd have to gather
he doesn't have thoughts one way or the other about what other people
should(n't) do in the world.
