    Apparently I really live in the United States and have a 2006 blog based on a quote of Thomas Jefferson's "dissent is the highest form of patriotism". Ooh.

    Seriously, I did know this. Its why I chose a moniker that doesn't link to my real name. My real name brings up my work website pronto - first page on google, god I'm good with the keywords. They're legit too, no mucking about with hidden repetition (but then, my website is only one page, thats why I'm drafting a new one, lol).
