[Vision2020] One bad apple evidently spoils the whole bunch?

My dear Keely,

I can only say in response that my seventies childhood was haunted by the 
following:

Go ahead and hate your neighbor
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven
You can justify it in the end.

There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day
But on the bloody morning after-er-er
One tin soldier rides away.

Well, my childhood was haunted by that and the "Poseidon Adventure."  At my 
high school reunion this past weekend, the ceilings were festooned with huge 
chandeliers, and I could only look up and wonder if the building were 
flipped by a tidal wave, would they hold Shelley Winter's body weight?

PS: All Southern ex-cheerleaders use Botox.  It's a fact.  I talked to one 
on Saturday night whose face was completely immobile from the cheekbones up. 
  It was fascinating to watch -- kind of like conversing with Madame while 
Waylon Flowers is off somewhere in another room.
