F*ck it. You're a good person.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

My Dad was one of the best persons I ever knew; you cannot begin to measure my love, devotion and respect for him and my mother. My brothers and sister are equally great. I just love my family; they are great people. But they are great people because of my parents.Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

I've had to be very hard on my son over the last two weeks. He's been making really poor choices at school, at church, and at home. He's 7, but he's shoving his little sister down, sneaking food, lying, pitching a bigger fit when he loses at video games than camleish, and being oblivious to anyone but himself. Punishments that aren't hard labor don't reach him. I can't appeal to reason, logic, or pathos with him. He says he gets it, and then he's back to what he was doing, sometimes before I even leave the room. He is an almost never-ending series of frustrations and aggravations. But, I love the little guy so much that when he comes in and shows me his 200th drawing of a Tom Glavine baseball card, my heart melts and for a moment, I think I can see where he's going to be, hopefully soon. We're about to plunge into a whole new world for him, and it's going to be very stressful for him. But, in spite of all his behavior problems, people love him and he's going to do well. He's the mayor of all good times when it comes to bringing people together for fun. We'll see how that translates, literally, in the next few weeks."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon
