Hank,

It must be nice to be such a simpleton, to go through life seing only what you
want to see. Personally, I am thankfull to Sally's of this world. They see
things from a "brighter" perspective, and have the courage to share their
visions with others.

The world is full of critics. Usually overpaid and without talent, but their
spelling (or if you are Hank: speling), grammer, and sintax are right on!

Hank, try looking at the world in colour, rather than black and white.

Robert
