Thank you for posting that. It kind of goes along with the 90 reasons why I'm happy to be a systemite which was posted on Moving On. In particular the one about having to watch Polyanna 100 times and play the Glad game. I was never so happy as to be able to take off my "Glad" face and be grumpy, mad, angry, irritable, a be-atch - all those things in the F. that were supposed to be erradicated. Maybe that's why we appear to be a bunch of angry, won't get over it, people. We simply don't want to and want to be able to express our emotions as we please. Who could forget the constant haranguing if we were perceived as being "negative" or bitter. It also goes along with my sociology class where we discussed how it was better to be demonstrative in our emotions rather than trying to hide them or pretend they are not there - within reason of course. Maybe this answers Ray's question?
