Let's just say that 
1). Nothing brings out my right wing habits worse than stupid, 
ignorant behaviour from the so-called enlightened educated 
congnoscenti. 
2) Political correctness is a crock. Forthright speaking, combined 
with a little bit of decorum, wisdom, and open mindedness totally 
negate any need for such obviously surficial and ineffectual things. 
3) I've seen too many folk with multiple degrees getting fed by the 
state because they can't be bothered to work. If you can get multiple 
degrees, you can sure as hell work.  

As for the big rock, I have my HKP cannon ready to splinter it as it 
approaches. And I have many levels of ferroconcrete to protect me. 
And I can call on my pal Yoda to throw it back your way. Nyah Nyah 
Nyah. (grin, ROTFL). 

The thing I like about the GZG list is people speak their minds, and 
often apologize if they come off abrasive without meaning to. And 
even the characters (Mikko, John A, etc.) have a certain flair and 
panache. And even those I differ with I think I kind of like. Can't 
wait to meat more of the crew in person (a long term project).
