LOL!

I agree, Furio. Of course, I have to point out that millions of Americans
(maybe even a majority) also rebel against this kind of thing. But it's
prevalent because the people who push it are very vocal and because
no one wants to appear boorish. (Though they may anyway.)

But let's not get on that topic.

Incidentally, a Parthian shot at the mascot topic: If I had to pick one, it
would
probably be inanimate, like a stylized gem. Definitely not a cutesy bird or
anime female. (Nothing against anime or females either. Or birds.)

But it's of no great consequence.

On the other hand, CHEERLEADERS... Dave and Andy, time to get those
short skirts out!

Hal
