- Sounds more like we have another case of a "pro-lifer"
- without a sense of humor. That lyric is funny. Actually,
- so good that I am jealous.
-
- If I recognize and speak of drawbacks to putting the hit and run
- on, am I holding the hit and run in contempt? If I note that
- driving a tractor-trailer may be uncomfortable and difficult,
- or even unpleasant, does that mean I am holding truck-driving
- in contempt? Muriel just came up with a terrific bit of lyric,
- but Peter, in a lurching desire to slam anything that looks
- like it might give him an advantage, asks his "question"
- rather than enjoys a good bit of writing.
