I can't say I <i>hate</i> it, but I'm certainly not a fan. I suppose it's a necessary evil and just part of our business. As to accepting that 75% of our adult lives will be spent on it...I REALLY hope not!!! Darwin – I will agree with you that “overly zealous religious nuts” subscribe to a doctrine of bullshit.
