I'm back too. Did you miss me? Just a little? Here's something from the imperial media for everyone to chew on. According to the May 29th issue of _Time_ (p. 89) which sourced the May 16th Journal of the American Medical Association, anger and cynicism _may_ be bad for one's health.
"Fight Club. Sure, it's cool to be angry and cynical when you're young, but such traits may damage the heart. Just as doctors have linked anger and heart disease in older adults, they now find that high hostility levels in 18-to-30-year-olds more than double the risk of calcifications in the coronary arteries - an early sign of heart disease. So if you're young and rage-prone, here's what's *really* cool: meditation, yoga and exercise, all know anger relievers."
Those little, squishy stress balls you squeeze with your hand are *really* cool "anger relievers" too. (anyone see Mystery Men?) Reading about this kind of study, cynic that I am, I'm thinking this is what they'll point to when the authorities start dumping prozac into the water supply, as they do with flouride.
just trying to be cool, Peter
