Honest smiles. I'm sure exceptions are sure to exist, but for the majority. When I've even been adjacent to them, they're pretty awesome. I don't care if it's a wedding between two wonderful ladies or my dad getting a Russian WW2 M1891. There's that grin, half not believing, half awe, and half pure childish glee that really can't be beat. I stand for everyone getting that at some time.

It's gonna suck most of the time, and some people are gonna need a hand to get there, but damn, it's worth it.

Very cool.

Very cool.

And you can convince a few dozen Ph.Ds to give your kid a university education in exchange for honest smiles considering they have mouths to feed?

You asked what I'm for, not whether it was practical. Lol

For whatever it's worth, I'm on the same boat as you with the 1.5 smiles per smile: truly fantastic.

I guess we'll need to find a leftist or two in academia.
