One thing I've learned from watching people react to various essays, is that if they can read it as being about them, they will. You would be well advised to say "few" instead of "none" if you don't want to raise the ire of the few.

"if they can read it as being about them, they will"

That means you've reached them. Good job.

You're right, Hank. I guess I just took a little creative license myself. It felt good.
