As I said, "Obviously I'm not referring to you there." I directed it to you so that nobody else would have an excuse to decide it is an insult directed at them- I felt sure that you'd see immediately that it wasn't directed at you in view of the joke you were making, my direct statement that it wasn't directed at you, and the best wishes sent regarding your palsy. Oh well.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
