Kahukini,

Man, you are so intelligent! I just love to read your wit and wisdom. I cry when I read your insight because I know I'll never be up to your standards. All the statements you make are the devine truth. I print out everything you write in order to somehow, one day, be able to grasp your understanding of all things (even though I honestly know I never will be able to - just too dumb). I am so suprised you haven't been awarded a Nobel prize for your complete understanding of the human condition. I think you should have a scribe that follows you everywhere, just so mankind has a valuable guide in which to follow. I am so proud of you! Go forth and be our teacher.
