Spiff, what you say makes a good deal of sense.
However, having said that,let me say this: Since when, in recent years, does good sense have ANYthing to do with anything??
Haven't you heard the new mantra--we are not responsible for our actions! It is (fill in the blank here...) __________'s fault.
We do not need to hear any nonsense about responsibility, because none of us are responsible for our actions.
So there.
