Heck, I didn't believe Albert for a minute.  It doesn't take much reading
of Ghandi or King to discover there should be respect for the whole person,
not just simple avoidance of non-violence.  Need we mention with what
respect Albert treats those human beings?

So when Albert makes his little speech he's either (a) lieing thru his
unbrushed teeth, (b) hasn't the faintest conception of what he's
talking about, or (c) both.

Unfortunately, any combination of the upper and lower case suggestions
is possible and supportable.  Ain't TP fun?  :-)
