Al,
We rub each other up the wrong way. We are probably the antithesis of each other. I find you excruciatingly dogmatic and hate your politics as vehemently as you hate mine. We know that. Maybe what I hate even more is the ice cool/cold manner which indicatees that you have very few doubts about anything, and I suppose i find your lack of uncertainty or humility slightly inhuman. It is probably irrational of me to have these feelings, and also inappropriate to mention you in a farewell letter to Grogan. But deep down there are some very contradictory things going on, because deep down I suppose I envy your concise logic. Envy is often at the root of hatred. Anyway, I don't hate you. You are a big challenge to my nervous system, but I don't hate you.
