Tee-shirt idea - "We the Jury" and a picture of twelve hollowpoint rounds. Magazine optional. I have a very real tendency to lapse into faintly hysterical humor - the tasteless sort - in serious situations. I remember reading about "ordeal by water". Sinking was GOOD or something. Then the judges were supposed to fish you out pronto. There were some unfortunate failures; imagine that.

Modern life is nothing but an evolutional test to weed out those who are averse to mundantity. My favorite mental aberration diagnosis was from a dear friend (who became dearer after saying this) was that I wasn't insane. I was too sane and the world being the effed up place it is, that disturb me and so I acted weird in response, or appeared to. I like that. Yep, it ain't me, it's them. hehehe. I thin' you got the same problem. Little parts probably don't help.

When I think of anti-social behavior, I think of people who lash out, hurt other people. I don't mean under provocation, I mean just because they are pricks. I have a pretty bad temper, myself, so I can't hold myself out as superior, but I tend to lose my temper at people who have provoked me in some way. I think the last time I got angry in public was at a gym, some young guys were hassling an older man about who was next in line for a piece of equipment I had just vacated, I had noticed the older guy waiting and told them so, but they wouldn't back down until I gave them a tongue-lashing. The last time I lost my cool in traffic when someone cut me off, I tried to get around them and they cut in front of me again, deliberately, I started screaming and driving like a lunatic, then realized the kids were in the car, and I have not done it since. Usually, I act very nice and polite.
