Kyle,

As Peter said, I hope you sent letters to the editor to "The Atlantic," and
to the newspapers that carried the piece.  I get information that slams both
candidates on an approximately equal basis, and try to set the record
straight when necessary, and time allows.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
