Long time no see, Abelard. Welcome back! As you can probably tell, this place has turned into a cesspool, hijacked by stupid, ignorant, mouth breathing deplorables who in no way represent Fairfax County - probably because most of them come from some backwater hellhole in Southwest Virginia or similar places that no one would ever voluntarily choose to live. I almost never check in here anymore, but the rare voice of sanity is always welcome.
