I realize that this only compounds the problem, but I can't honestly offer a sincere apology, except inasmuch as I have discussed an emotionally charged issue with as much emotional detachment as I can muster. I do apologize for being unable to offer a sincere apology. I believe a false apology would be worse. I can, however, drop the subject. > Consider your public service announcement, warning everyone to be > careful when driving around children, to be made.

I thought we could have a rational, even logical, conversation about the impact of word choice, but obviously I was wrong. (I'm pretty sure everyone already knows to be careful when driving around children.) -Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
