Boston Guy;
You are totally cool! (And I am way to old and better educated than to use the word "totally" in any sentence.) We should have coffee some time, you are a fascinating man.
And even though I agree with most of what you say, I still have some affection for the philosophy espoused by Julie Brown in her famous song "I Like 'em Big and Stupid" I guess it depends on my mood. I figure I have lots of friends that I can discuss world issues with, but for an escort/dancer situation I'm looking for something different sometimes. Although too stupid can be scary.
