Nah, his eyes are fine, he just chooses not to read the actual text, far to bothersome.

Re: The Tories
Here you are cmonstanley.

The word "Tory" derives from the Middle Irish word tóraidhe; modern Irish tóraí: outlaw, robber or brigand, from the Irish word tóir, meaning "pursuit", since outlaws were "pursued men". It was originally used to refer to an Irish outlaw and later applied to Confederates or Royalists in arms. The term was thus originally a term of abuse,

Interesting .... and I always thought it came from the Chipewyan for "asshole", or the Mohawk word for "that which is under the horse's tail."
