In the vernacular of the 1960's, "it's a real turn off." Too, the speaker is usually trying to blind us with BS...and there's already enough of that going around to fertilize the Sahara.<br /><br />LarryLarry Simoneauxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-8452389069035785592011-09-30T16:52:19.218-07:002011-09-30T16:52:19.218-07:00Sid:

But if his first or principal application be to the indigent, who are always inflammable; to the weak, who are naturally suspicious; to the ignorant, who are easily misled; and to the prfligate, who have no hope but from mischief and confusion; let his love of the people be no longer boasted. No man can reasonably be thought a lover of his country, for roasting an ox, or burning a boot, or attending the meeting at Mile-end, or registering his name in the lumber troop. He may, among the drunkards, be a hearty fellow, and, among sober handicraftmen, a free-spoken gentleman; but he must have some better distinction, before he is a patriot."<br /><br />Samuel Johnson<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />LarryLarry Simoneauxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988839706387198339.post-18553092133132428372011-09-30T04:30:28.747-07:002011-09-30T04:30:28.747-07:00Perry's Out like yesterdays Cat litter...
