My dear friend Glendar,

If Nature's only...let us call them "redeeming" qualities are veiled
threats, bravado and short tempers, then I can only hope that the march
of progress either enlightens them to the greater mysteries and vagaries
of life or crushes nature under it's cultured boot. As a scholar I spend
a lot of time in the library, and thus have no time to indulge you. My
jaw is not as well defined as yours from chomping at the bit looking for
a new head to bang my fists against, so I must cut this discussion quite
short.

Have a nice day,

Vol.
