16. Some people get their energy from being angry.

All the time. I've run into it in the conservative rural area I live in. Anger and hate is their fuel. And whiny, negative shitkick "music" and Fox News. Must be an awful way to live that eats you up.

There's a white guy who works at the post office. The postmaster is a black lady. He said "We have a love-hate relationship. I love to hate her." That's the redneck idea of cleverness. He thought he was funny when he was being offensive.

I told him, "You have a choice. You can be positive, or you can be negative. It's up to you." He said, "Yes, ma'am."

They are busy hating minorities or Obama or whatever, because everything is some brown or black person's fault. They have no idea they are being manipulated by the Koch brothers.

And don't get me started on rap and "bitches 'n' hoes" type glorification of violence and misogyny. And the movies I call "Explosions 'n' Shit" because that is all they are. No human warmth or relationships. Just violence and more violence.

I sound like an old person.
