It's funny how two people can speak the same language, yet totally miss each other's point of view. Maybe we can get it straight some other time. Today, (figuratively speaking) you are playing Machiavelli and I'm playing Thoreau. It's not a good mix. Too bad we can't meet after work and thrash today's arguments out over a cold beer and in person!

Well, you're always welcome to visit me in Charlotte, Jim, and escape the arctic air. We've got plenty of Canadian geese to keep ya company!
