   We'll see. I'm pretty sure everyone there killfile'd me,   
   and I honestly don't care much for political "discussion"   
   that's *only* ever partisan. Partisan arguing tends to   
   read an order of magnitude beneath infantile to me. Also,   
   I find it disheartening to spend time and energy crafting   
   something I consider intelligent, only to see nothing but   
   a couple single phrase insults in response.

   Because this here black woman is tired of the racism   
   flowing profusely my direction from the huge block of   
   privileged old male white supremacists here! ;-)

   Nah. I like temperatures on the cooler side, but not that   
   cool.

   I did get a speech lesson today to that end. I needed to   
   use 20 dimes when paying for a swimming pool building   
   permit to avoid having to break a large bill, and when   
   I asked the woman helping me if that was okay, she said   
   "You *FINE* baby! You *FINE*!"   
      
   I gotta say, blowing $107 on a work permit is a lot easier   
   if/when it leads to learning you fine.... ;-)
