I don't even bother taking the time to explain b/c it's time wasted that I will never get back. They will never get it. I heard someone say one time that explaining this kind of stuff to most people is like explaining color to someone who was born blind. I know that sounds ugly but it really is a good analogy.KC (my 140 point 6 mile journey)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05183039121953689933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272746327697367079.post-83406470535878738872011-04-19T10:54:26.046-04:002011-04-19T10:54:26.046-04:00Great post.
