You didn't mean it, but you couldn't miss a chance to ridicule me?
Thanks a lot.
No, I most emphatically did not say we can't have both, or even
insinuate it. I'm trying very hard to make a valid contribution
and all I get is criticism for not making a different kind of
contribution. Would you criticize an artist for not doing math?
Then why criticize me for not teaching people to be kinder or more
creative? That doesn't mean I don't think it is important, it
*only* means I don't know how. I will gladly support anyone who
does know how.

No, it is not. I'd rather give up then resort to something I don't
believe is right.

Not until we can bring Brother Reed over to the dark side.
