That depends on your perspective I suppose. I find quite a few of
the fortunes that are already in there to be ridiculous, liberal claptrap.
I could even go so far as to say that I find them offensive (although I
don't really, just misguided and amusing).

If we delete everything in the fortunes files that anyone finds
offensive, the files will be awfully small. :) I moved them to the
offensive file, along with all the anti-republican quotes. I think that
this is a reasonable request, and fits with what's in the fortune Notes
file. If you're afraid of being offended, don't use fortune -o.
I realize that a lot of people in the project lean to the left,
some of you further than others. But not everyone does. Some of us would
like a little "equal time."
