My emotions clamp down on me too. I have not succeeded in getting the rage out of me. But I have to keep trying. I do believe that the world will change one small step at a time. I have learned in my life that by understanding those who hurt me and others, or at least trying to, I feel less hate and can then move forward a little bit, anyway. I am a little afraid of sounding Pollyanna-ish. I don't really think I am though.

Again, I applaud the effort. I tend to cope by disappearing into alternate modes of being that at least for brief periods disconnect me from it. Perhaps I'm the one whose attitude is suspect in reference to effecting change. It's a difficult knife-edge with respect to striking a balance.

Ain’t one fucking thing wrong with your attitude, Vin.

Susan T needs psychiatric care; she’s delusional as hell.
