That was one of the best and most heartfelt posts I've ever seen from you.

It's true, I've been having a rough time lately. A very rough time, with life in general. It wasn't just my friend's daughter being raped either, I lost one of my good childhood friends to a very stupid car accident the same week and it shattered my spirit. I absolutely don't want sympathy and I won't end up with a breakdown. Trust me.

Yes, you are correct. It was out of character for me. I am angry with the world at the moment. I don't understand where it all went wrong. Where kids can rape kids in school and parents can teach such absolute vitriol to their own kids and then even have the audacity to then put it on youtube for all the world to see, as if it was something to be proud of. I'm not even a parent, although I'm plenty old enough to be, but even I can see that it all starts where the parents lead them. And that's one giant responsibility. And David gave me the most telling advice in that thread by the way and I don't discount that at all.

Attaching that kid to David was a over the top I agree, but we never see just how far our influences go until it's too late even if it's accidental. And David by his music is influencial. I know for a fact that David is a good father. I can sense it easily. Like David's parents and like I alluded to in the post up top, my mother raised me to be what most people would call a good citizen. I go to work, pay my taxes and try to help anyone I can. I'm not religious, much to her chagrin, but overall I think she's pretty happy. However, what makes anyone think they are entitled to go beyond those boundries is beyond me. And sometimes I think the boundries get pushed here myself.

I know you guys get very upset with our current administration. And you can spew the most vitriolic stuff out there and I guess that gets a pass because you believe you're right and we are wrong, but you forget that even if the banter is meant for adults...it's the kids that are better at the interwebs than us and they'll draw their own conclusions based on their influences.

You have no idea how upset I am myself for voting this administration into office. Because I am convinced that they are leading us on a path to financial self destruction (which is actually a good thing for you guys). But the left has offered up two pieces of greedy mudfighting milktoasts that don't have a clue how to take us back out and nor do they care. Have you seen their tax returns btw? (that's greed in action) and our side has ratified somebody who is just as incompetent and greedy. So can you see my frustration?

I used to be a glass half full kind of guy, but now it's glass half empty.

And it will go on and on. We adults can rail against it (as David or I or you might in differing directions) but it's the kids that we are harming and robbing and they will also have to dig their generations out. But they won't succeed if we get them as fucked up as that little kid to begin with.

Putting that on David's shoulders was wrong I'll admit. And I'm saying it to you Reg because you've always been a good sport and never lost your head. Even in Theater 101. There might be an apology for David as soon as he apologizes for wanting to cut Pat up into little pieces with a chainsaw.

I guess I'll just click that link David offered now. Maybe they can put me on some Prozac or something. Then I'll just fall in line and think everything is ok like everybody else again.

But seriously Reg. Thank you.
