    Yes, there are. Seer's claims do not appear me to fall in that camp.

    And I was using the term "entitled" in its more pejorative sense. Some people have this aura of "the universe owes me" and go around looking for all the ways in which they were cheated. The right accuses the left of it all the time. I find that the right is as guilty of it as the left.

    Indeed, we all get a little "entitled" now and then. For example...it has been WEEKS since I've gotten a hug!
    The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

    I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong. Frederick Douglas
