Put these on my list, just for starters.

I wanted to take this opportunity to compliment David on his use of pictures since he has discovered photobucket. They are especially striking and appropriate yet original in this particular thread.

hmm, I was going to put one more for good measure, but that "effects of american capitalism" one encompasses a gigantic portion of things I could say.

When I stop to pet cats when I'm out walking (there's lots all around the neighborhoods) and they act like they don't want me to leave, and kind of follow me down the street, but I don't know what they want, or if they're in trouble, or if they have homes (in some cases. Some have collars and are really fat). And they miaow at me and get that compelling look in their eyes, as if they really need something, but I still have to leave anyways. To assuage my sorrow, I tell myself that they all probably just want some food, or to be let into their houses, which is what most cats want a large portion of the time that they interact with you.

Oh, and this is a big one - when i don't have the food I want, and can't get it.
Or also when i don't have much food.

When people who are gay feel like they can't just be gay because of various societal strictures. And when others get caught up in that circle of deception...

Ghetto-ass arguments that I can hear from my apartment.
