	Debating, maybe.....

	I was first responding to what I perceived to be intense dislike
	of statements made on what I consider to be a comedy radio show. But,
	I know I'm sensitive to what I perceive to be elitism in folks. Working
	in the computer biz, I've grown weary of the emotional attachments
	folks develop to "things" and that also applies to vehicles. While I
	share Ric's frustration with the effect on the market by those average
	drivers, I guess I'm less interested as I get older to reject others
	values that don't match mine, meaning I don't take alot of this stuff
	as seriously as I used to. Probably part of some old fart syndrome.
