approaching this burning issue from a more anatomical perspective. Clearly his parents, by design or accident, as is the most parents can hope for, created a potential contributor to the human condition. Sadly their efforts, having named their son Rick (which rhymes with Dick) established his path in life markedly divergent from the overwhelming majority of people across the world.

Anyone one with the name Rick (Richard, "Dick" for short) that publicly suggests that all us "US" should abandon our faith, our values or our freedom because of the failures of our families, our communities and our faith for his, is truly a dick.

Not just any dick though. Most dicks get out once in awhile. They get fresh air occasionally. Clearly, as in the world Rick lives in he runs with other dicks, some (most one would imagine), much bigger and lesser dicks (think Scott Walker). But the one thing that "these" dicks have in common, is they typically live in the dark with their scrotum and asshole. Which, as most of us have learned through lives experience, when we associate with dicks, ball sacks and assholes we run the risk of compromising our compassion for the whole of humanity.

Ballsy assholes that want to dick the shared belief in individual freedom, values and hopes the rest of us hold wind up, ultimately, holding their own junk.

I can't speak for you but I believe I speak with the majority by saying, "keep your hands off of my junk, Dick Scrotum.."
