It was only a phrase. I don't even know if Kent Holm intended it as a throw-away line, glib grabber fodder, or if it was fraught with meaning in his mind. It certainly got me thinking. And when I get thinking, my mind usually goes to interesting places. (My wife doesn't always agree on the interesting part, but....)
