"Calvin and Hobbes flat-out funny... Go with the flow"
Oops, my reading the journal of life my mentor Douglas wrote has conditioned my understanding of the Calvin and Hobbes message to be of the dark-side rather than flat-out funny with "its hurts to laugh."
Walk in the shoes of a Marine during a tour in a combat zone and exchange deadly force with others, then your insight into state-side everyday events will be conditioned different for life.
Maybe I should change my name from Rose to Thorns of a Rose?
