My apologies. I never intended for the underground to become so dank. Thank you for your help and support over the past few days. Also, we should probably back down on Raja. I believe I may be traumatizing the poor child. Now hopefully we can all put my transgression behind us. I would like to know why one might consider my ass-kicking comment to violate my site philosophy. Also, I think most holidays have been co-opted by capitalism, at least in North America. Nonetheless, they do still retain some sentimental, emotional, and spiritual value, unless, of course, you suffer from a permanent state of grinch-scrooge-shrunken-heart syndrome.
