I'm sure I'll be accused of that before this is done, since they can't even get
right what I actually did say.  They're all just a bunch of damn fools who
haven't got a clue about how to end the problem.  They don't like my ideas, or
John Massey's, but they sure as hell haven't put forth anything substantive of
their own.
