I am a wordmaster, so I write for you when you are in a good mood and when you are in a bad mood. This is NOT my general attitude. This is a JOKE.

My book team has spoiled me horribly. In my earlier life, I got used to people promising things and not delivering. But I have been dealing with my book team too long, and I had the impression that, like them, other people would promise and deliver.

I discovered that while my team is great, the rest of the world is the same old thing.

After finding that out and while I was in a lousy mood, I came up with a way to express my mood.

When you are in a lousy mood, read this over. I am probably saying what you are thinking.

Here is how you tell your real friends from mere acquaintances:

An acquaintance will be reminded of a promise they didn’t deliver on, and they will tell you, “I was busy.”

When you remind an old friend of a promise they didn’t deliver on, he will say, “I was very, VERY busy.”

If you have done someone huge favors and even saved their job, they will say, “You KNOW I would NEVER forget you. But I was very, very, VERY, VERY busy.”

I prefer dealing with my enemies.

They just tell me to go to hell.

The 11-year old kid who killed a girl a third his size is up for another violent crime.

The psychologists said he was just a poor, misunderstood kid and he was convicted, but soon let go.

So now he’s back up for violence again.

What a surprise!

He was a vicious bully and nut before he was 11. But when he came before the judges and psychologists, The Law was worried to death about being unfair to him.

The kid was dangerous. He was a threat to the public. But that is not The Law’s problem. The Law is not concerned with some nameless person this kid might kill or maim. The Law is concerned only with treating this kid fairly.

I do not believe in The Law. I believe that a bunch of lawyers who put on black dresses and call themselves Judges are just lawyers who put on black dresses. They are going to screw up.

If there are twenty million dollars worth of legal proceeding The Law is happy with any result. To me if that huge legal proceeding results in a nutcase being put back on the streets and someone gets killed, The Law, His Majesty Itself, has just killed an innocent person as surely as if an innocent person were executed by Its Majesty The Law Itself.

NOBODY else thinks that way.
