Yes sir, and there are still plenty here on DoveNet, and Othernets and in the
Gaming leagues.. and these hurricanes have brought some very brave acts, and
acts of compassion that I thought I would never see again, So I still have hope
for the world..

Most people hearts are still in the right place, they have just been so mislead
by media and other outside influences, that their hearts have been hardened. 

There are the few out there who are just plain sadistic bullies, who were
either abused as children (mainly mentally). Or got to their sad state of mind
some other way. and its sad to say, most will NEVER change. because they have
become accustom to the rush of endorphines and other neural pathways firing as
the result of what they do. It's like (or worse) than any drug you can take.

I'm now a part time drug abuse counselor (I do it to give back to the community
that has saved my life) so I do it free for are local judicial court circuit
Drug Court, and also a halfway house. and though I cannot speak of specifics a
lot of cases come into the halfway house coming out of prison have gained their
bullying tatics as a coping mechanism to cover up for some (mostly mental)
issues they suffered at a younger age, and those also drove 65% or more to
their drug addictions.

The Addicts though are some of the most good hearted people you could meet once
they reach rock bottom and pick themselves back up. *most* of them would'nt
hurt a fly and go out of their way to help other addicts, and even become
counselors like I did. Take Trey Anistasio from the band Phish. he went to drug
court (diversion program) got clean, and now is one of the hardest working
advocates of these programs.

Sad to say that a lot of the people with the inferiorioty complexes, bullys,
etc. tend to relapse very quickly because whatever mental anguish set it off in
the first place is buried deep into their psyche, and many end up back in
prison on parol violation from mainly domestic situations..

I try to keep my patience with people like this, but in our group meetings this
is how we treat each other, when one catches the other slipping we call them
out on their crap, and do not leave until the issues is resolved.

This is more then likely why I get so defensive.

Please forgive me if my messages offend anyone.. I'm just trying to help.
