Vanderleun is AWESOME! The man has an amazing way with words. However, I think the commenter was someone else. His initials were JWM. Whoever he is, he is pretty good as well.
It's a gift that I don't have. At least not up to THEIR standards. We all like to think of ourselves as "eloquent", but when we see someone with real talent, we all begin to realize who the rubes are.

When you consider the number of drugs freely available and the number of schizophrenics, plus all the guns it is a wonder we don't see a shooting a day or more.
