Yep.Far as I know America is the only country on earth in which you can be assured of reading enemy popaganda in "frendly"newspapers.Wouldn't be so bad except it's the ONLY message the media sends.

I've always been a big Heinlein fan myself.Before going to Vietnam I memorized some of his sayings that seemed appropriate and every day or I'd repeat them back to myself and see if I was following them.Am convinced that on at least one occasion this saved my life and almost certainly several other lives.

These days when I really get angry,I have a paraphrase taken from Heinlein that I mentally tell myself:"Killing this asshole would be but a momentary pleasure and would likely get me talked about."Then I just grin at them while thinking about what I'd LIKE to do to them.Works for me.Oddly enough this seems to effect some folks more than a slap upside the head would, and saves all those tiresome court appearences.
