I resemble that remark! First of all, my man, I'm not technically a senior
citizen . . . yet . . . but I'm practicing. I've always been somewhat
obnoxious, and you would know know, I imagine, about the propriety of any
remark in this forum, since much of what you publish here would be
inappropriate in any forum. I appreciate your choice of words, though.
It seems you've got a real chip on your shoulder, Sellam, and I wonder why.
If you look at the remark to which you refer in the context from which it
was taken, you'd realize that it was quoted in the context that California
tends to have an assortment of opinion which goes farther toward the
extremes than many less collectively "enlightened" and, perhaps therefore,
tolerant, regions of the planet.
