QUOTE: "The implied premise here--one I applaud with all the power of my soul--remains that no such thing exists. Our value and our uniqueness may be questioned, alas nearly always is (and when you look at those who never question it, that might not be a bad thing), but remains a truth we should embrace every singe day."...

So I had to adjust myself a bit to the freshness and relatively unpolished nature of this troupe. Once I did, I had a very nice time indeed!...
