Loving Our Dogs and Cats, More Than Each Other

I DON'T LIKE THE POST OFFICE. Sluggish, inefficient, and expensive, let's privatize it. Then too, there are those postal employees, with their perfunctory, punctilious, packaged postal personalities, sticklers for detail, which may derive from stress and overwork. They rub me the wrong way, even though they are pillars of society. Truth is,I aint much of a cop fan either, personality wise. Strong, silent, stolid, stoic, unsmiling. maybe that has something to do with living in constant fear of losing your life. they are, obviously, heroes. Hell, for that matter, I can't rightly say, as I head into dotage, that I like Americans very much, what with their insufferable arrogance and self absorption. Humanity, truth be told, is not my favorite land animal. Without doubt, I prefer dogs and cats to humans. hell, so does every other american, which indicates that American, arrogant though they are, have good judgement. Every American I've ever asked, and there have been many, says the same thing: yes, I too prefer dogs and cats to people. When I quote a Harvard study which reveals that on surveys fifteen percent of the American people express preference for pets, everyone has the same response: those numbers have got to be low. I agree.Harvard needs to start over. A friend of mine from China had Americans pegged to a tee. "You Amellicans are the roneriest people in world. You care more about your dogs and cats than each other! He acted like there was something wrong with this, that we should be shocked, surprised, and ashamed. Hell yeah, I replied. You got that right. Actually, he only got the last part of it right. We Americans are lonely at all, unless we happen to be in a crowd. We have our cats and dogs to keep us company, and that's exactly the way we want it, and intend to keep it-------------PLEASE TELL OTHER READERS ABOUT THIS WEBSITE, WHICH IS INTENDED TO BA A FORUM FOR CREATIVE WRITING AND READING.
