I'm glad this was a post count milestone thread.  When I read the title, the little ditty "There once was a man from Nantucket" went through my head.

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

Did you have a bad day?

I had at least one of those, and the week ain't over yet.

Uh huh.

I got yelled at a lot, fortunately not by anybody who means anything to me, and not for anything in particular that I did.  The Big Zero's put everybody into a foul mood, and I blame that.
