It is impossible, for reasons of extended family, for me to answer this objectively. I will say Scott is an intelligent man. The bunch of them are. What's frustrating is that he half-way "gets it," like almost all of the males. The women are the bright spot, being union leaders for many generations. Keep in mind that "Galloway" translates as a variation of "mercenary." And that's all I'll say.
