Because Discovery is INTERNATIONAL, and here in the hinterlands, I still
hear it used in a perjorative manner....  As in look at that "Spazz."  Maybe
the people that use it are thinking about "ditzy klutz, but I don't think of
myself that way.  Maybe I'm hypersensitive, but I can at least let them know
about it.  You're absolutely right about the guy shooting the semi-auto,
though...

Kendall

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.
