I get angry sometimes, don't you? But I don't shoot anybody, do you? Of course not! Anger is a powerful force for negative AND positive change in the world. Where does anger come from? Some say it's in your blood and  comes from your family. Others say it is learned behavior from  parents, teachers, peers and mass media. Some people lash out and use anger as a weapon, hurting others. Some other people withdraw inside, hurting only themselves. Then there are people, like this writer, who turn their anger into peaceful words of love to educate and inform. There are others who petition peacefully, rather than start a fight. Can you think of ways to turn your anger into love? Please write.

Bossy people are pathetic. They think  they know everything-- and they don't! When you try to tell them something, it's like talking  to a wall. This makes some people uncomfortable  and others angry.  My best advice is let it just go off your shoulders, over your head and with your head up high, keep on steppin'! My best advice to bossy people is, "Mr. Bossiness, wake yourself up and better yourself, we'll like you more!" 

There's too much crime and it's got to stop! Our justice system is breaking under the weight of drug and weapons crimes committed by people that need honest jobs. We have two problems: 1) Too many bosses and not enough workers. Dump some bosses and use the money to hire more employees and, 2) Our veterans have a lot to offer our youth. Hire them as teachers and their experience will help kids, while they help themselves heal from war. We need more jobs and less poverty. We need more classrooms and less jails! 

It doesn't matter to me what people wear on their bodies. If they want to show their bellies and/or underpants, that is their choice! However, sometimes the way we dress attracts attention. Sometimes it's positive, like when staff helps us look more presentable. Other times we can draw negative attention and it can get dangerous and ugly. Dress with respect and earn respect from yourself and others.

As I said, our disability isn't all we're about. We can help overcome prejudice by working hard and speaking up for ourselves  and not using something we were born with as a crutch. When  we show others that we are more than what is most apparent, we crash the walls of prejudice and we get to have our own way. Peace on Earth, good will to all people. Love one another.  Enjoy life!!!

Prejudice based on sex is called sexism and is cruelly hideous. On the job, it  shouldn't  make any difference who does the job, as long as they can produce the right amount or do what the requirements of the task at hand. Male or female, the pay should be the same and all people should be treated with respect, dignity  and consideration. Happy holidays! Peace on Earth, good will to all...
