   Naw, I don't think so, I think it's way beyond good, it's fuckin' awesome.   
   It doesn't get any better than what we were all born into and then lied out   
   of.  All a fellow has to do is wake up and start calling "bullshit" and   
   walking away instead of caving in to what he knows is wrong.  S/he that is,   
   we all need to be ...whatever you call it, nice i suppose, smiling and   
   nodding and being twofaced instead of saying bullshit, the whole   
   politically-correct business of i'm-nice-so-you-have-to-be-nice-to-me that   
   would make Jesus pitch a major fit.
