: wearing a green-tinted eyeshade
- To my fellow practitioners—when are we going to stop being pushed around and fight back? Are we the mild-mannered, bespectacled, armband-wearing, green-visored geeks that TV and the movies make us out to be, or are we the educated, respected, professional advisors that we are trained to be?
