Yes, those shortcomings seem to be part of the depraved human condition. Such men and women are to encouraged and nurtured, never scorned nor blamed. The strong have an obligation of honour to be there in the moment for the weak.

Bobby, just a suggestion:

If you eliminate odd numbers (e.g., 1, 3, 5...) you can reach 30 in half the time.
Creative maths idea if erecting our club's flag pole banner prematurely was a goal. Maybe our new private club takes great pleasure in having unique characters and odd people around. Sameness costs nothing. Just fall in line with the nearest herd (where your view never changes). Narrow, winding paths to individualism are fraught with excitement and challenge.

Well put, and if the ethos or philosophy of the proposed club is not to be insulting to others, it appears to have failed before it has begun. Now more than before I'm glad I won't be a part of it.

"Women often ask, 'What do men 'really' want, deep in their souls?' The best answer, based on in-depth analysis of the complex and subtle interplay of thought, instinct, and emotion that constitutes the male psyche, is that, deep in their souls, men want to watch stuff go 'bang'." (Dave Barry)
