I'm always stirred by the nobility and fearless objectivity of all the Darwin's Witnesses here, aren't you?

But seriously....

BTW, I always have the exact same reaction as you when I see that "Patrick Henry" person. From earliest days, I wondered why he would choose the name of someone who would abhor his stances, someone by whose fundamental principles of life he obviously is deeply threatened, and to which he is obviously deeply hostile. You might as well choose "Mengeleman," or I "ClintonChr," for our screenies.

That reminds me of that Alexander the Great anecdote: A soldier was accused of cowardice so he was brought before Alexander. Alexander inquired of his name. It was also Alexander. The Great's response: "Change your ways (I beleive the Greek would be metanoew) or change your name."
