Rain in Winnemucca

Unfortunately, overpopulation is the way the world as we know it will keep going.

The expansion of wants and needs and the production of goods and services to meet those wants and needs.

In the good old days men shot men one-by-one, but now men go in for greater numbers and are less discriminatory, feeling shortchanged and wanting to make up for this feeling by killing in greater volume and including women too.

The problems always reside in the men themselves, whether they think they're getting what they want and need or whether they think they are not.

The individual becomes disfigured by such thinking; feeling he has no one to talk to, no one who understands, that he is not even part of a much too large mass, he becomes insane to gain distinction.

You'd think a small test sample of this sort of behavior would suffice, and a peaceful resolution to the basic problem of overcrowding could be acheived.

But this country seems committed to the violence of its history, to the point of becoming sociopathic, loving its guns more than its people, and creating people who have no idea what it means to be human.

Let me explain: I make the mistake of looking at you one way when I could be looking at you as you are, or as completely different. I was all wrong and you made me see it, that I was all wrong.

I want to apologize but I don't know what to say to you. And when I say what I say I'm not sure it's right, so I look at you as I say it to see how you take it, the apology that is.

And so I'm in that untenable position of having said not what I wanted to say to you, but saying something else, when what I haven't said would have been far better than what I did say.

As to what I did say, I'm sorry. I mis-chose my medium, instead of saying these things to your face I should have texted or, better yet, used email. When you called me a narcissist it was unnecessary of me to give you only two choices, between being a sociopath or a pathological liar.

In the future, I'll keep my real feelings to myself so that I'll no longer have to wake up from watching such sad news on tv and find words like these that can only hope to someday know what they really mean.
