Amos - "However, as the ability to differentiate between present facts and past duress diminishes, the tendency to react to things that are not happening grows stronger, and the ability to recognize differences and similarities grows less. So you find more and more illogical assumptions, knee-jerk reactions, categorical assertions on an increasing spectrum of irrationality, and that irrationality manifests itself both in inappropriate emotional postures and irrational abuse of data."

Yeah. Right. Definitely. Matter of fact, I took the liberty of quotin' yer very words as spoke above to this gorilla I know who has a bad attitude towards me. In short, he hates me for some reason. I thought it might help him see the error of his ways to hear yer sage advice, encourage him toward doin' a little self-criticism, and maybe ease the troubled waters between us and lead to a mutual understandin' and some productive dialogue.

It didn't. He took a swing at me and we ended up in a fight that busted up most of the furniture at Kelsey's and got us both kicked out of the place. Now he seems to have put out a contract on me (again). Got any advice?
