I couldn't disagree with you more. There's no ideal in any of your categories. I had a friend write an article Color Me Perfect. We all choose the colorations that allow us to think things are right or wrong. You choose yours. I'll choose mine. Funny thing even though I disagree a lot with you I can find more positives in your approach than I can in mine.
