And we all have incompetent relatives.....and we may also be one.  I,
personally, am an incompetent brain surgeon, & anyone who allowed my to
perform brain surgery on them could objectively be called incompetent ----
particularly after I had finished the job.  In this age of relativism, I
absolutley reserve the right to pass judgement by comparison of particular
actions to a set of external standards which may be independent of the
current flavor of self-esteem enhancement guidelines & politically correct
opinion polls.  Reciprocally, the one taking such a position, by definition,
invites his/her own actions to be scrutinized in the same manner.  Out here
in the wild west it's called accountability.

Bottom line?  Don't let me mess with your head!

Relatively speaking, of course.      :-)
