How easily we are drawn into flame wars. If Mr. Nasti is 16, well I'm 
disappointed 16 year olds haven't evolved since I was one (may still 
be--redheads, you know) much beyond having the Internet as a new medium 
through which to curse, but then again he's only 16...ah, the circle. If he's 
not 16, well, fuck you too pal. It shouldn't be difficult to find a nasti of 
such caliber; the woods are full of 'em, and they're not just 16.
On the other hand:

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

Chorus
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

Repeat chorus

Wear it out (the way a three year old would)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

Repeat chorus

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn--Alanis Morissette, You Learn
Thanks, Ms. Morissette, a-and Happy Number 26.

TTFN,
