Alas, Jim, you can say it loud and you can say it proud and
you CAN SAY IT IN ALL CAPS but I don't agree. Period.
PERIOD.
But that doesn't make you a bad person. As the early 1950s SF
movie "The Twonky" stated, "it is your God given right to be
wrong." Based on a Henry Kuttner short story and starring
Hans Conreid (IIRC), the movie has little to recommend it
beyond this philosophical statement. But, hey, its been a
pretty handy thought that I've hung on to for all these
years.
