FIRST RANT!

Evil slips into my world.  It really pains us to say that there are still things we cannot control.  Ugly outside influences.

Again this morning our world was deeply upset by CLERKS!  Now I grant that there may be a few competent clerks out there really trying.  But folks, most of them are undereducated, minimum wage, non career non thinking robots!  The big problem is that they can -- and do-- control our lives.  And as such have the ability (which I think they secretly know and relish) to ................

And we wonder why we are sometimes cynical.
