An open note to Jazzoctopus

Thank you for your kind words. They are much appreciated.

I too am rather annoyed by the heavily visible minority that seems to be giving my generation at bad reputation. Most of us really aren't that bad. . . at least I don't think we are. Most people I know aren't as interested in learning as I am either, though. I guess that makes me a nerd or, as my English teacher would prefer, a renaissance man.

Excuse my political outburts. I guess I just like to argue sometimes. My school needs a debate club. . . I'm not really as staunchly republican as I appear. More leaning toward libertarian, I think. My dad is basically a Republican and my mom is a Democrat. Election time is very interesting in my family.
