This thread is the dumbest example of right wing whining that I've ever seen. Thanks Brent.

"Sturm und Drang" is a period in German literature around 1770.

Goethe's Werther (written in that period, 1774) was a tragic person, deeply passionate like Dan.

There was no happy end for Werther... So keep an eye on yourself Dan...

I think Kafka's Metamorphosis is more applicable to the subject at hand.

I'd like to think so, we put a bag of them on his coffin along with a jar of catfish bait for the graveside service. Mormon optimism is its most admirable trait, IMO.
