George Jones was my all-time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.
All of my favorite people - people I really trust - none of them were cool in their younger years.
Katie Couric is one of my favorite people.
I am perfectly conscious that this contempt and hatred underlies the general tone of the community towards us, and yet when I even remotely hint at the fact that we are not a favorite people I am accused of stirring up strife and setting barriers between the two sects.
