When you aren't drinking or using drugs or spending lots of money on fancy toys or basking in the glow of fame or working all the time or eating your way through the refrigerator, being hateful and angry is a very handy shield from the truth.

the tough work of fiing what is broken inside you. — Glenn Beck

When you figure out what that payoff is then you will finally be on the road to freedom. — Shannon L. Alder

I've always resented the smug statements of politicians, media commentators, corporate executives who talked of how, in America, if you worked hard you would become rich.
