Dude, and I apologize for saying this, but your avatar looks exactly like my father, a dub so devout he refuses to "embrace" me on the extremely rare occasions that we meet. Perhaps the resemblance isn't as severe as I think -- but shrunk down in a tiny picture, I see my father glaring at me as I sludge along with all of the other dogs on this board, returning to their vomit. What's really strange is, I find much of what you write to be sensible. The result is a migraine-inducing dissonance I can't seem to shake.
