I'm about as offended from this post as I was when Canter & Siegel happened.

The inevitable forced realization that the our little world is indeed filled with evil, evil people that want to abuse it (or in this case, those associated with its operation) for their own ventures.

I suppose we've all known that people like this exist, but after this post, i feel ... dirty.

"meh".
