RAF,
Do I know how to elicit a response from the tender, or don't I? ;-)
I'm glad we're done with that.
When it comes to the social contract and all it contains, it is ineffectual (of
you) to try to gang up on the majority when you are in the minority. But, keep
trying; after all, that's how a majority is BUILT! Failing a new majority,
there is Legal recourse for those who believe they have been offended.
Feeling begrudged, alone, will not change things, except to further deteriorate
the state of one's health and one's civility.
Or, there may be better countries with better systems for you to move to. It
may not be too late/soon! Merle likes Australia, I think.

PS I *do* sometimes listen to US-daytime-AM-talk radio: I find it's good to
know what tunes the devil is playing.
Granted, it's a very difficult Yoga (to sit still for).
