lets chop it down to 53 then. or 6. see if power doesn't coagulate and distill on a linear scale if we are lucky, exponential if it doesn't.

i love an predictable argument where a comment on a view gets attacked for referencing the person and not the perspective or comment in question.

i hold the pedantry of those INTERCHANGES not the PEOPLE (big difference) exoutheneó so in fact absent any further rational discourse 9my goal for coming here), we are in fact done.
