It reminds me of the story- probably an anecdote made up for just such a purpose as mine, which describes a meeting of the former first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt with a drunken sailor on one of her inspection tours during the war. ( The BIG one!) It was said the sailor, very impolitely stated that the first lady was the ugliest woman he had ever seen in his life, to which she replied that he was the drunkest man she had ever seen in hers. His retort was, "But I'll be sober in the morning...." Truly ignorant people have some hope, as ignorance can be cured with knowledge and careful tutoring. It is the incredbily incurable stupid ones for which there is no tomorrow morning of enlightenment that I worry about!! Enjoy your Portugee 'R' and with the lenses made in The Great White North, the unwash be dam'ned! I isn't WHERE it was made, but how WELL it was made! Dan ( I had ancestors "Fabriken Im Deutschland", but the ones "Made in the USA" were just fine, too!)
