A lot of this is the messenger versus message thingie.

I admit to having difficulty finding messages of value in hysterical presentations. Perhaps that's a failure to differentiate on my part. Perhaps it just an instinctive reaction against aligning myself with those who don't seem to be thinking straight. Perhaps it's simple bigotry against emotional people. For whatever reason, I definitely devalue messages that are presented with wild eyes and screaming voices. I realize there's risk in that, but it's probably pretty small. Then again, there's Conspiracy Theory, which played once again on TV today...

I hope to be able to offend, er, respond, with more on this after this somewhat hectic weekend is over.

I'm glad you're having such a nice visit with your daughter.
