Some say it's refreshing

I recently sent an email to everyone in my various address books (I guess we'd call that spam, now, wouldn't we?) about the Rally. Here was a reply I received from an old high school buddy who is now a professor at the University of Arkansas.

Why Peter, after a hard day of hearing the locals rail in hatred against gays, after dealing with the continuous heartache of seeing science mis-used, warped and twisted to support partisal polical and religious agendas, and after just finishing the NY Times editorial reviewing the latest happenings with the Ohio pension scandal, it's refreshing to finally get that rare message that somebody gives a crap about something other than their wallet or themselves. Keep it up, and good luck.

The last time I saw Mike we ate a few crabs, drank a few beers, and talked about home brewing and the state of the world. Some things don't change.
