(gasp!) but now,thanks to Od I feel safer in knowing that there are only two types of people out there: 1.Obama supporter ? 2.Hillary Clinton supporter ?

1.Infidels/depraved who believe in Mac.
2.Believers who also believe in Mac.
3.Believers who are Mac non-believers.
4.Infidels who are also Mac non-believers.
