IN RETROSPECT;

while it is rather insulting that i should have to explain what should be obvious to any intelligent, civilized human being; the last few years of republican rule here in america has apparently brought back humankinds' violent and/or devolutionary (and/or primal - if you will) mindstate, and because of this i feel strongly compelled to comment on the current situation: 1) i have always believed that within the heart of almost all violent people lies a sensitive soul who lacks control, as one who is in control, controls oneself, and; 2) losers essentially have nothing to lose because they have already lost it, and; 3) being violent does not make you a macho or tough, it just proves that you are an idiot, also; 4) my father taught me from day one that violence was no solution for anything, as violence only begets more violence (and psychological testing is only required for those who are a harm to themselves or others), and besides; 5) it takes a bigger person to walk away from a violent situation, as one who does so actually exudes more bravery than one who allows oneself to be drawn into it, and; 6) also; if you take into consideration that i am a drummer, if i break any bones in my hands i will not be able to play those drums, and there is not one person on the face of this earth worth losing even one day of drumming over...
