I agree with Scott and disagree with most of yous.  Amerikuns are 'ugly' and
this is a prime example of it in our culture.  Anyone can stoop to
vulgarity.  It requires maturity and sobriety to lead as a better should.  I
love the funny bumper stickers as much as anyone but crass, body language
and the like are object lessons I teach me children with while sitting at
stop lamps.

I can tell where this thread is going.  hehehe  Another Friday, another
lowest common denom issue in the works.  We all state our views and a couple
lose their self control and Jim shuts it down.  BTDT
