Figuring out which (if any) organic wine to buy can feel like navigating dawn with a hangover.
  • Tomreedtoon, why so angry? Honestly.

    Your angry header directed at me made me sad, until I read your whole response. WOW! You really must be one bitter person to think that EVERYONE that has an interest in organic wine also drinks cappuccino and wears Old Navy, and is a pretentious schmuck. If you're trying to piss me off, you have only succeeded in making me laugh! Thanks, it feels good to have joy in my heart (do you know what that's like?). To let you know, I actually cut caffeine out of my system a few months ago, and now I have no problem staying awake when I need to. I've never even considered Old Navy an option for my wardrobe. And who are you to comment on how I live my life? You have no idea who I am, what I am, and why I am.

    It really sorrows me to think you've had your head so far up your rear for so long that everything just seems like dung. Ask yourself why you hate people so much, just because they're different from you. Just because they choose to live a life not according to your world view. Perhaps if you spent less time criticizing people and really just listened and watched and understood the vast arrays of human interaction and psychology, you might actually find that folks aren't that bad. You might also find that none of this really affects your life. Don't you wake up everyday, even though Jack and Jane next door want to eat a carrot free of pesticides? If you directed all the animosity you have displayed in this forum into something creative and worthwhile, you might find it isn't so bad if your neighbor drives a Mercedes, while you prefer a bicycle (I prefer bicycles actually, but not for my line of work). Your neighbor may wear Tommy jeans while you wear used Wranglers, BUT WHO CARES!!!

    But hey, I'm just a pretentious schmuck that doesn't think about anybody but myself, and my money, and my cappuccino, and my Old Navy, and my really obnoxiously over-priced organic wine. Right?
