Yes, I said that? What is your point? I'll also admit to you that I am going to wear black shoes today. Oh, and I think I will take a cab to work because it is snowing outside.

There are quite a few things things in my perspective that I don't say over and over again. Is that okay with you?

(for what it is worth, you are exaggerating above. I never said that all screening is excessive, but aside from that your recollection is pretty accurate. You can sticky this post if you like)
