Uh Diablo,
Do you have any idea of what sarcasm is? Read the bit about discussing politics and the play on the word GEOpolitics.
Secondly do you know what kind of Volvo I drive? It's in my avatar. If a 16 year old motorcycle makes me a "preppy", then guilty as charged, both vehicles were purchased used. I did go to college so I suppose what ever I did for education prior to that could be construed as "prep", I viewed it as plain old public high school however.
