Re: [OT] Re: moral dilemma

Such language! Sorry to upset you Dave. So unlike the smirking cynic we know

socio-economic discussions as it relates to art and life... Oh, but, so sorry,
Alt-photography should just about technique, formulae, and prickly discourse
that you can handle, shouldn't it Dave! Yes, that would be a nice, safe, world
for you and many others who are waiting to weigh in among the GOP, I'm sure.
Sorry to burst your proverbial bubbles, but some of us have a broader view of
things. Deal with it and try not to fuss, children. The grownups are talking.

We're also about to take back the country, if you haven't noticed.
