It, and they, run the gamut. There are terrible ones and there are great ones, and I completely agree they should be equally represented in fiction.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-12865529318842963062012-09-11T04:32:57.000-07:002012-09-11T04:32:57.000-07:00Thanks, Tiff.
