I was off fishing this Sunday, so I didn't follow the spirited gun, car, and
pen campaign from those open-minded and open-hearted LugNuts with tons of
Leica's, Linhof's, BMW's, and gaggles of Montblanc pens. Those who think we
are leading a dull life without all of this redundant platitude.
 
You certainly have a point here, John, but cowardice keeps them from
answering. Finally, when they understood they were about walking into their
own trap, they hurried up and came back ON-TOPIC like good boys... claiming
A/O that politics and religion should be the only *absolutely* taboo subjects. 

Great exercise in hypocrisy!
