This post says it best. Alborada, just because OVM's experiences have been a bit different than yours doesn't make his wrong. This an argument about things that are clearly and definitely gray. (How's that for a contradiction of terms?) It's like getting pulled over for doing 10 over. One cop will let you go, one will write you up for the whole 10, one will knock it down to 5 over.
Now, if Canada would just apologize for Celine Dion...
