[Vision2020] One bad apple evidently spoils the whole bunch?

[Carl Westberg]

I've decided, in the spirit of George W. Bush, to ignore the facts you 
present, and stick to my original story.  My advisers all concur that I'm 
right on this.  You owe me an apology.                                       
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
     Carl Westberg Jr.
