The emotions of a child and pain of an adult are the same thing. It's the small hurt inner part of us that does the crying. That part needs to be indulged and encouraged, just preferably not in public. McCain's bluhness and outbursts in my opinion are depression, which is to say anger and sadness turned inward then squirting outward. It's okay to have depression. It's just not okay to inflict it on a country, the way Bush did. What a different eight years it would have been if they all had punching bags and used them. I wonder sometimes how Obama burns off his energy. However he's doing it, it's awfully constructive in his ability to stay rational. --- On Thu, 11/6/08, Eric Yost <mr.eric.yost@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Eric Yost <mr.eric.yost@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Fwd: Pinch Me ...a message from Michael Moore To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, November 6, 2008, 4:33 AM Moore: ...
