That "opinion" thingy .... there's a quote from Harlan Ellison (scifi fans will know who he is) that I like: "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opionion. No one is entitled to be ignorant". Not talking about you, bud, but there are some on here, and wherever you go in the world, who could do to take note of this. Another one of his that I like: "The two most common elements in the Universe are hydrogen and stupidity."

By the way, I see that there will be no silences observed at football games ... a great pity that. There will be no loud jeers and cheers from the stands on Wearside to serenade her as she floats on Charon's boat towards her eternal resting place.
