    Not Bitter

    "I'm bitter. I can no longer afford to buy lemons. I can't drive my car to go to the library because I can no longer afford to buy books or gas to run my car. I can't afford the tests my doctor orders because medicare only pays 60% of the costs. I'm bitter because my country is torturing people in my name. I'm bitter because I've lost my right to privacy, among other civil rights. I'm bitter because the dollar doesn't buy squat anymore. I'm bitter because the rest of the world thinks we're thugs and idiots. I'm damn bitter. How about you? Are you bitter too?"

    -- Utah Savage

    I'm not bitter, Utah...do you need to borrow a gun to cling to?

    Considering your presumed location, you better go easy on the religion-clinging. If not, say "Hi" to Jeffs for me!
