What you say is 100% true - and to make it worse - you are forced to decide
how to react to it. Of course you're angry - as any sensitive perceptive
person must be. But apparently you are sufficiently well off so that you
have a computer and a phone line - which puts you in the top 1% of the
world's population.

In any case I think you are doing the right thing - trying to make an
impact. I'm not sure you have picked the most effective approach.

I hope you find closure in  your epiphany.  The movie Hero ends with the key
figure explaining to his son  - "It's all bullshit - you just pick the level
of the bullshit you can live with" - or something to that effect.

For what it's worth - I really do find happiness in my relationship with my
wife and my children. I suspect happiness is what you get when your
attention is directed toward helping someone else.

  WOULD ALL OF YOU PLEASE STOP FUCKING TALKIN ABOUT HOLIDAYS AND HAPPINESS
ITS ALL BULLSHIT THERE S NO HAPPINESS ITS SUFFERING AND PUNISHMENT TO THE
MOST OF US SO PLEASE AS YOU SPEND YER MONEY OR WHATEVER U THINK ABOUT THAT
ASU SIT THERE SAYING

  HAPPY HOLIDAYS WHAT SHIT!!

  CHRIST WHATS RONG WITH U BIMBOS

  YOU YAHOOS

  YOU CAPITALISTS PIGGYWIGS

  STUFFING YER FAT ARSES!!
