Oh, I LOVE the "Red Bull" story!
Did Technick ever get that "My Brother is a Twit" tattoo?
I think the "dumbest thing" I ever did in life was develop a personality as a child that firmly - almost desperately - believed that people were good, kind caring creatures. My Life as a Disney Movie.
Mandy, many decades later, I was forced to admit that people taken as a group are mean, petty, impossibly stupid creatures that should be avoided whenever possible.
*Individuals* may be different, but for the most part, the human race isn't worth the finger effort it would take to press the little red button. They only reason I don't suggest use of the button is that it would also take out the few individuals I've met that I'd like to keep around.
I used to think this was a bitter and jaded outlook. Now I think it's merely pragmatic.
Tomorrow...we'll do "trust." That one gets interesting, too.
