The ethical convenience doing so would bring me would be immeasurable... but I would find it absurd.

The direct efforts of thousands, the indirect efforts of ten of thousands, and the passive efforts of millions brought us to this day. Money, effort, and the sacrifice of reality on a national scale were also required.

I place as much cause on the goober with the primer-gray, duel-exhaust truck sporting confederate battle symbols as much as I do on Agnew, Limbaugh, Cheney, and the degenerate in the White House.
