Usually the rude people get our attention. It makes you feel more positive about humanity to notice the 9 good people instead of the 1 bad apple.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537467381822778488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-40620319451563650632015-12-04T11:05:07.733-04:002015-12-04T11:05:07.733-04:00Yes.

Oddly I had been reading his old textbook on nonviolence.
