"Each to his own opinion. Merry Christmas."

Each to his own. Absolutely! Cheers! I honour your choices in great American writers: Twain and Steinbeck.

by Herman Melville...)

Names Ash Housewares quoted:

""All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all
truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all
the subtle demonisms of life and thought; all evil, to crazy Ahab, were
visibly personified, and made practically assailable in Moby Dick. He piled
upon the whale's white hump the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by
his whole race from Adam down; and then, as if his chest had been a mortar, he
burst his hot heart's shell upon it." -Melville (Moby Dick)

*Exquisite!

Referring to Democrats and "liberals" Names Ash Housewares wrote:

"They are as mad as Ahab. And the same fate awaits them.
