(Private to those over 25)

If I have to make any more dance competition costumes, I think I might stick myself in the bathtub and turn on the electricity shoot myself in the foot. Since when has it become acceptable for girls who don't even have breasts yet to strut around on a dance floor, showing them off?

To reiterate my previous statements made yesterday concerning the demonstration on Sunday, there is no need to be afraid any more than you need to be over any other person. These are people who have extraordinary abilities, its true. However they are no more likely to intentionally harm another person than anyone else. We don't live in constant fear of people with cars, guns, or have trained in methods of self-defense, and yet they are just as likely to injure you as any one of those with or without malice. Accidents might happen like with anything else, but that is also why we have classes in defensive driving, gun safety, and places that teach self-control.

The groups that do this with intentions to intimidate rather than educate however are no different from the countless extremist groups that have come before them. We do not need to make enemies out of people just because of their differences. This is a lesson that after years of fearing one group of people or another just because something was different about them we should have learned by now. At some point in our history almost every group has been discriminated against and yet rather than taking those lessons we continue to project it on the next group we see as a threat to our society. I would like to think that if any one of you would take a moment to consider that you don't need to hate people for their differences but learn to appreciate them that we all might have a better world.

To the groups who run these demonstrations, you are only making things worse on yourselves and those around you. You are not superior, nor "gods among insects". You are only being bullies trying to take over the playground. Don't allow the primary backlash of people when they found out you existed taint your minds. You should all be more intelligent than that.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

Dear Children under 13 and those adults that still cry when they have to go get blood work done,

First of all (to the adults), I am not "HEY BOY WITH THE SYRINGE OVER THERE!" That is not going to get you into my office any sooner. Do you not see the group of people out there sitting with you in the waiting room? Wait your turn like a good little patient, yes?

Biggest misconception about drawing blood, if you move your arm, the needle won't break inside your vein and stay there forever and ever and then you die. Just relax.

You will not die by my taking a small sample of your blood. You still have plenty of blood left in you.

Just cause you haven't eaten yet does not mean you can nibble on my arm. We have not yet turned into cannibals as far as I can tell.

If you behave, I give you a sucker. If you yell and scream like a banshee, I send you off to your parents or respective guardians with nothing. Maybe the address to another lab if I'm feeling creative.

If you touch anything, you will die. That is a fact. And a promise. If my two 7-year-old girls can sit still while I take their blood without touching anything or moving, so can everyone else.

And parents, trying to hold your kid down while I take their blood only makes it worse. Just wave at them from far away if you can stand to be away from them for more than two seconds, okay?

Please help me out, yeah?

Sincerely,
HEY BOY WITH THE SYRINGE OVER THERE!

Me
