Things On My Head

Things I'm thinking about...
 
1)  Acts of love are either (or both) acts of work or courage - M. Scott Peck.  So, acts of "not-love" are acts of laziness and/or fear?
 
2)  People do extraordinarily mean things to cats.  Why?  I know people do mean things to animals in general, but cats tend to get the short end of the stick.  When I ask people why they hate cats so, the response is invariably that cats are "snobby" or "cold" or something of that nature.  So that's it!  In an act of transference, we direct all our anger at snobby people towards cats!  Well!  I'm feeling angry about all the bullies in the world, so who wants to help me throw a bull off the roof?  Anyone?  Hello?...
 
3)  Madame President?  I'm tired of people using the "PMS Excuse" for why we should never have a female president.  First of all, by the time any female had worked her way up the political ladder, she would be at least 70 years old.  If she still has PMS - I am SOR-RY for her!!  She's got bigger problems than leading the free world...oh yeah she does.  Second, let's talk PMS.  Ok, so SOME women experience stronger emotions than usual - this does not mean ALL women.  Furthermore, we all have tendencies that are less than noble, but haven't we learned by now that weaknesses overcome are often our greatest strengths?  So the woman who recognizes her overly emotional pattern learns to steel her mind and will in order to do that which is right, and in so doing, develops her "weakness" into a great strength.  In the end, give me a break.  I wish men would just be happy with their penises and quit worrying about them - plah!  grrr...
 
4)  I just spoke with a mentally disturbed man who abused all kinds of drugs during his earlier years.  He recently became a Christian and was told that his mother (who never "accepted Jesus") had gone to hell. 
 
"Depression and suicide attempt brought to you by your local church.  Contact us for all your emotional breakdown needs."
 
5)  Hey Pat!  "Aye!  Sea Ewe...a rare, but beautiful creature you are...!"

6)  I matter.  Eye matter.  Aye...matter.  Aye, Matt.  Errrr...(what was your name again?)  I, Matt!  Err...(you, Jane?).
