ARGH!

I really ought to know better than to listen to the news before I've had my morning coffee. But, here I am, still working on my first mug, the local Fox news on and my blood pressure just spiked through the roof. Not because of politics. Not because of the current economic situation. Not even because I paid 3.12/gall for gas over the weekend

I don't think you can pound that hard :(

"And your wise man don't know how it feels, to be thick as a brick..."
Trying to remember the name of the story about the handicapper-general - who went around making sure no-one could feel superior to anyone else.
The problem is (a nettle they fail to grasp) that self-esteem is relative. If you fail to set desirable benchmarks for this relativity - in fact frown on desirable benchmarks - the group will set other benchmarks. The in-kids. The successful bullies. The ones who have most money. The girls who can sleep with college freshmen while at highschool. The ones whose parents have best cars... instead of celebrating and giving status to academic or musical or sporting achievement...? That makes sense to me.

Yeah
