Love is evil? Okay, I'll buy that to a certain extent. When it's centered in "I love you for what you do for me and if you quit, I'll stop", yes, that's evil. To me it ties into believing that others are responsible for my individual happiness. If my happiness, satisfaction, contentment - whatever you want to call it - is dependent on the words and actions of other people, frankly, I'm screwed! They're just people, not gods, not responsible for me and my feelings... I choose, I decide and I live with me. I choose to love some people, not because they "do" for me, but because they bring some sense of joy or peace into my life. If they changed, if they moved on, if they became hateful horrible people, I'd still love them or at least the memory of them. But, I probably wouldn't like them anymore. My motto (one of many!) is "why spend time around people you don't like? Life is far too short to waste one minute that way." Okay, I've completely rambled my way off topic and need to pull back!

Oh, one more thing, while I'm rambling... Tom, I'd like to take one juicy bite out of your ass - just once. It is fine! Whew, got that off my chest!

okay - back to our regularly scheduled programming...
