- I would *never* advocate such a viewpoint, nor do I think it
- makes sense. I have run into the existence of such opinions,
- though. (The split between 'big guys are all teddybears' and
- 'big guys are all dangerous lunatics who want to stuff you
- into garbage cans and kick you down the stairs' while frequently
- of morbid immediate results *is* a good clue about people's
- opinions and self image.)
