Yeah, I ran into the "Mid=Evil stuff dowm in North Carolina, visiting my
Mom. Was talking to her and a friend of hers, discussing an event I was
hoping we'd go to, and Mom told me later that her friend wanted to know why
she wasn't upset because I was into the "Evil" stuff. Mom explained, but I
don't think the lady quite got it.
