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.
