Kind of thought so, as the rest of your comment was saying working class. I was too damn lazy to look up the quote, so you probably deserve the actual apology for that. lol Now to try and respond with the less than full functioning braincells I have working right now. It will be highly unpopular and controversial anyway I'm sure. lol Good to see some activity in this new section though. It's more than needed despite any disagreements that arise. Hope it doesn't turn into a bust activity wise.
