brian, you’ve defended every allegation regarding cars and your views except your three strikes rule. I wasn’t joking, do you know why I said it? Because relationships tend to change our perspective, even if they don’t last (which they usually don’t and that’s ok) we come away a slighlty different person. I grew up a conservative republican, but after a falling in love with a few wild eyed leftists, I became a moderate, a populist if you will. I grew up a bit of a homophobe, then fell for a girl who was bi sexual, it changed my view, a view I’ll never forget, but I digress. I was once somewhat of an elitist, I grew up with money, then I fell for a girl who lives paycheck to paycheck, who parked her car in different places to dodge the repo men. I changed again. I used to judge a woman by her shape, then a fat girl came a long and was better in bed than all who had preceded her, I changed again. I grew up in pretty much white suburbia, minorities made me nervous, till I fell for some, then I became color blind.

You think because you are liberal, environmentally aware and pregressive that you are past all that, but your bias is just the same as mine was, just in the opposite direction. It would really help you to fall in love with someone who is different than you. Get rid of the three strikes rule or at least suspend it. Save time, combine them all into the same woman. In the end, you’ll see that everybody is the same and maybe you can become like svelte and I a decade or two ahead of schedule. I actually think you will be pleasantly surprised with your new view of the world.
