And, in truly crass fashion, the 148 slide slide show on Yahoo about her assassination, too many slides were of people watching the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Thank you for the rant John, for a moment there, I didn’t think anyone cared or noticed this very sorry, sad event.

These are encouraging words. They also make me think, "Every customer my hard-earned copy writing skills bring in, I must treat with the utmost in respect, and try to deliver the best deal and service I can." With this attitude in mind, maybe I can at least contribute some good to this fallen, sin-cursed world. And maybe, in my own small way, I can help build credibility and trust in advertising. Thanks again for these words of wisdom. John, thanks for this rant. These are encouraging words.
