15. Jesus was in solidarity with dogs and angry children. Mohammed was in solidarity with dogs and angry children. And I'm in solidarity with dogs and angry children! There. I just wanted to say that.

16. If someone says to you, in good-old-boy tones, "I'll tell you what it is – All the mainstream media are owned and controlled by the Jews," I'd say, "Almost impossible," adding, "You're on the road to oblivion – You're naked on a treadmill with a light bulb up your ass." Not only would I say it, I have said it, because you really don't want to be in solidarity with nitwits and assholes.

17. Some experts say, "Talk it out and put yourself in their shoes," Stephanie Rosenbloom reports in The New York Times. ("Help! I'm Surrounded by Jerks," January 18, 2007) Maybe that's what the Germans were doing while Hitler was roaming the planet ... talking it out, and putting themselves in Hitler's shoes. Not only is that bad advice, it's complete bullshit. "Maybe Hitler was having a bad day," the crappers say. Bull shit!

18. Okay, so that's pretty blatant. Then here's a subtle example of naked aggression: Just as you walk into a room, you overhear someone saying, "What is he doing here?" Without missing a beat, you can say, "He's my dog!" ... because if other people can pretend they're guard dogs inside some imaginary castle, then why the hell can't you walk into the room with an imaginary German Shepherd? And again, do you really want to talk it out and put yourself in their shoes?

19. In a not-so-new wrinkle, many experts are beginning to claim, "something that the victims of the difficult don't want to hear: they might be the problem." (–Stephanie Rosenbloom) Can it possibly be your fault if someone says, in a public forum, "I can see you're about to say something – So please don't!" ... ? If someone told me to shut up that way, I'd say, "Clean slate!" and add, "Too perfect!" ... then I'd go on and say whatever I wanted to say. Are we supposed to identify with someone who's telling us to stifle our creativity?

20. I'm saving "Putting myself in their shoes," for people I like, and for people who are saying kind things to me. So many experts are so wrong about where to put our solidarity. They just want everyone to toe the line and be good little workers and spenders! Ruin yourself! It helps the economy.

21. If you're in solidarity with dogs and angry children, you won't have delusions of grandeur ... and you'll approach genuine warmth and kindness for yourself and people of compassion and good will. If someone attacks you, it's never, ever your fault. I mean, who's the one doing the attacking? Are the "victims" using mind control? If may be, some people are already wounded, or pre-hurt. But is that any excuse for "heaping it on?"

Review

15. Be in solidarity with dogs and angry children!

16. You really don't want to be in solidarity with nitwits and assholes.

17. These days, the hot shots in the prestigious companies are acting like Hitler. Never "Talk it out and put yourself in their shoes." That's terrible advice.

18. If they can pretend they're guard dogs inside some imaginary castle, then why can't you be accompanied by the dog of your dreams ... say, an imaginary German Shepherd?

19. Don't let anyone tell you you're a victim, and it's your problem. Don't let anyone stifle your creativity, or tell you to shut up. The best part of you is already shut up. Release it!

20. Put yourself in the shoes of people who like you, not in the shoes of people who hate you!

21. If you're wounded, or pre-hurt, doesn't wave some red flag for everyone else to "heap it on." Red means blood. Red means stop!

Unifying Idea

(1.) Put yourself in your own shoes. (2.) You're just a person. (3.) As long as you think you're better than anyone, including the mean people, you're out of touch with the dirt under your own shoes. (4.) You're pink as a pig's ass. (5.) Pink, pink, pink!
