This world is full of people who seek out reasons to get angry, and who also often seek out reasons to demonstrate that they are morally superior to you. And then rub your nose in it. Often, it says more about them than you.

You know this phenomenon when you see it. Like when you see something like this posting on the Huffington Post, declaring that Sen. Barack Obama doesn’t respect the citizens of third world countries… because he hasn’t quit smoking yet:

Obama is trying to quit, but until he does, I have a problem with him lighting up.
The issue for me is that here is a guy while professes that we should respect the third world and its citizens [sic], his smoking habit directly feeds the marketing and distribution engines of tobacco companies that have much if not most of the same Third World hooked. These companies are viciously aggressive in promoting their poison. Look at the billboards, and then see crowds with cancer sticks in their mouths…
Until you stop smoking for good, Senator, you are part of the problem. You can’t love Third World nations and at the same time, fatten the coffers of companies whose products kill them.

“Until you stop smoking, Senator Obama, I will not consider you a part of the solution!”

And with that, what seemed like a good week for Obama with the fundraising numbers comes to a crashing calamitous setback…

Happy Good Friday, y’all.
