My father always told me; you can beat your head against a brick wall...it never moves, but you will end up with a headache.
Keep up the good fight. You must have more asprin than I.
Excellent articles, educated opinion, a secret socialist agenda (I jest, I jest!) - what more could you ask for? A legend in his own right. Thank you, comrade. I mean... buddy.
