whew! This tops the tresy person's "dialog" about seattle, in which
anecdotal conversation was allegedly revealed, in detail, about an event
which supposedly happened between a rational liberal and an irrational
something or other...viva science, logic, critical thinking and facts
taking precedence over opinions and anecdotes...


This is the kind of stuff a lynch mob might hear to get them
started...what really does upset me, however, as I must admit, is
waiting two hours for an order in a restaurant...I would definitely
support carpet bombing any people or nation who kept me waiting that
long...what is this world coming to? Tourists just cannot find good
service...maybe they should stay home, and abuse the local servant-scum
class...
