No. Your selective quoting left out an important part of my point. I
pointed out that Kate has gone on to do more important things than smiling
prettily for photo-ops and taking up political causes (land mines) that she
surely knows nothing about (she was coached on this by a guy from the Red
Cross, I believe).

I don't care if you dropped out of JUNIOR high school, but you better have
some examples of your ability to use your brain if you want to be
considered anything other than "a cutesy airhead" of either gender.

I haven't chimed in on that thread. I'm still thinking about it.

Why not think big? I think that Kate should come over to my house and put
the CD in my CD player for me.
