Thanks for the compliment, I am most certainly a cynic and proud to be so. I am also in-credible (as in not credulous, as in not believing people anything I am told, as in not believing people weren't motivated by greed... you don't buy 12 million points worth of magazines for any other reason).

If there is anything missing from modern society it is skepticism, cynicism, and a healthy insistence on not being credulous.

That said, being a cynic, when cynicism is deserved (or skeptical or critical, or incredulous) is not contemptous of people IN GENERAL. I actually have a very high regard for people (most of them). In fact, it is because I value people I speak out on something I find contemptuous (such as the rapists who descended on Goldpoints, Automall, et al).

Thanks again, you made my day.
