He could have responded with "That's okay cuz I was planning on waiting until after I had sneezed in my hand a couple times and gone to the restroom without washing afterwards before I actually shook hands with ya. It is the only way of passing on the horns gene." devilish.gif

I think that the guy in the article was just plain rude. I would shake hands with someone even if my belief system was starkly different. For instance, I would shake hands with Al Sharpton, although there is probably very little that we agree upon. It would take a lot to make me not want to shake hands with someone. For instance, I would not shake hands with Osama Bin Laden, mostly because I would fear for my personal safety if I had any interaction with him.

Thus we see the violence inherent in the system!

Of course, had it been medieval times when the handshake originated in western culture, Mitt could have whipped out his sword and lopped the guy's arm off for his refusal to shake hands and show that he was unarmed... and I think Mitt would have been found perfectly within the law as it was clearly self-defense wink.gif
