Joe:
Thanks for a great and entertaining article. Here, in conservative and religious Iowa, I often feel alone, persecuted and isolated but finding opinions like yours relieves the depression and lends hope that there is an alternative. I loved your article; keep up the good work! In answer to your question: yeah, definitely he is, but are the people who control him anything more than predators comparable to the mafia!
