::envies \*\*King of Soup’s \*\* writing skills:: We can argue about the inherent goodness or evilness of mankind untill we’re blue in the face. But mankind is as it is. How we _feel_ about mankind, and about life in general…that’s a physical, a chemical thing isn’t it? A good nights’s sleep, raging monthly hormones, chemical imbalances in our brains that make us feel depressed, all of those determine our outlook. This too shall pass. ---

**Priceguy** , I hear you loud and clear. But, hey, even though the world is basically a pile of shit in a lot of ways, there’s some really awesome things out there – most of them created by or having to do with people. Like Zingers. The plain kind, though, never the raspberry. And video games. Oh, and naked girls. Then again, you know this, so why am I telling you? I do still hold with the old quote of “The more people I meet, the more I love my dog.” **World Eater** , they got meds for that, ya know. ---

I agree with you 100% and I told a bunch of rowdy motorcyclists the exact same thing in the pub a few weeks ago. What thanks did I get? A broken nose, several lost teeth and I have suffered blackouts ever since! ☹ ---
