"I am the one who has to live with myself, so I am the only person I need to satisfy." What a shallow, self-centered, and contemptuous remark! The last time I checked, it was still illegal to kill you; so we all have to live with you, don't we? You don't urinate in a grocery store aisle, and you don't molest our children. There are many things you must not do...and other things which you MUST. You don't have to like it; but too damn bad! You need to satisfy the other people who live with you in society. Your behaviour is subject to restrictions, and it is open to both approval and to condemnation. "I am the only person I need to satisfy." Pfuii! Get a handle on it, Christopher, for pities sake. One would think that you believe that other people do not matter, and that they have no ideas or feelings--at least none that seem to affect you in any way, huh?? "I doubt you can help me work through much, except perhaps the directions for reprogramming my VCR" Yeah, I can reprogram it for you: take it to your favourite charity and leave it there.
