Letters I've written totally meaning to send . . .

Usually it has to do with my relatives and since they live so close it ain't worth the trouble of getting everybody all fuckin' riled up...Especially since in the end, I'll be seen as "wrong" no matter what I say, so I just keep my trap shut and keep on, keepin' on. Relatives...Can't live with them...Get 30 to life for killin' 'em. What'cha gonna do?

I'd like to win an argument sometime. I don't think that's happened to me in my life.

Anyway, I think the realisation that you can be entertained by indignation aimed at you by others often fulfills it's own potential. People, for some reason, often try to demand that you be negatively affected by their inability to cope with information they never wanted to consider. This is somewhat of a mental equivalent to banging your head against a tree in hope of causing someone the discomfort of being hit by a falling leaf - and if there's one thing cartoons have thaught us all, it is that ineffective, self-destructive malevolence is endlessly comical.
