Let's press pause for a moment and put a hold on this prolitarian stew that I laughingly refer to as "my life". I have been watching people for a long time. I don't just mean "seeing" them, I mean WATCHING. And here is what I have learned about "mankind" and "people".

Mankind wants world peace.

People want to kill in order to gain world peace.

Mankind wants to grow up, be educated, get a job, and eventually retire.

People want to grow up, party, get paid for doing nothing, and die before they get old, because getting old "sucks".

Mankind wants to provide for the starving people in the world.

People get pissed when a beggar asks them for change.

Mankind wants to keep the air and earth clean and healthy for future generations.

People drive giant SUVs, smoke, and use and make products that are not kind to the environment.

Mankind wants to end littering.

People get pissed when they get fined for throwing trash out of their car window.

Mankind believes that life is a gift and should be good for all.

People force others to work 50 hour work weeks and tell them that it is the only way they will succeed in life.

Mankind wants to be strong and independent.

People blame everyone else for their shortcomings.

Mankind's heart breaks when a child is hurt.

People hurt kids.

Mankind wants to be healthy.

People do things that they know will kill them.

Mankind takes care of each other when times are tough.

People find ways to kick you while you are down.

Mankind wants to find a cure for cancer and AIDs.

People smoke, and have unprotected sex.

Mankind enjoys entertainment.

People are entertained by watching others get hurt.

Mankind loves to laugh.

People laugh at the expense of others.

I could go on forever like this, but I won't. I will finish this with a final thought...or a first one, depending on your view of things...in short...

I LOVE MANKIND; IT'S PEOPLE I CAN'T STAND!!!!
