too good. db, you pontificating rapscallious gadflying machine. dale, you volumnuous somnambulistic compost pile. where did you come up with this idea that certain incomes or better yet vocabularies automatically indicate some kind of venal elitism? i'm in that middle class/union group and we've been getting hammered, have just lost over 50 union jobs on the SF waterfront. and wtf with cutting the budget to contain nukes in the disintegrating Soviet Union then giving away huge tax cuts and goin' ta wahr? it's fiscal irresponsibility of the most obscenely grotesque kind, you flabbergastingly insensate odd-toed ungulate.

and i'm in the 'farting cows will kill us all' camp myself. it's not the most glamourous crib but farts are farts.
