1-You are into reality,not FEELINGS....(hurt, that is)
2-You didn't believe that your way was the only way.
3-You didn't think that because you were a professor from Vermont that your superior intellect gave you the right to "Guide" the unwashed, trolley riding, red American masses...
4-These backward morons that just hurt your little ol'feelings so bad by telling you to take your superior ways and SHOVE THEM UP YOUR BLUE ....STATE.
