Just wanted to mention it. I hate seeing stuff like this on the Internet, especially from my own side. I'd really rather see us all joyously mocking the incredibly stupid ideas of the other side, rather than shouting shameful and personal attacks at individuals. We can't demand a better discourse until we begin one.

Wow, 256 letters at Salon? Dude, go outside. Get yourself laid. Something. That rage isn't good for you.
