Speaking of politics, you're careful not to offend those for whom "that" has replaced "who". Next time you should write a piece on "who" vs. "whom", or maybe "so-and-so and I" vs. "so-and-so and me" -- both huge pet peeves of mine.

Hmm, I'm afraid the above appears somewhat sarcastic... Well, it's not. I enjoyed your story immensely.

i think you're supposed to alternate the 'whos' and 'thats'

and yes, i am aware that the above statment only proves i have missed the point.

too many five dollar words.

Absolutely, completely fascinating and brilliant.
