OK. This is a poor choice of examples to have used in an attempt to make my point. I *really* should have taken more time to consider the possibilities, *and* the *potential consequences* of that choice. I'd like to offer my sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended in reference to this example. :( I'm big on freedom of speech.
