You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous

Larry J. Ables, I must say, I may have over-reacted...
As much as I detest hypocrisy and lies, I don't think it's entirely fair to put all the blame on any one or more people. How many times have I exaggerated to the extent of implausibility, for unsuccessful comic effect, or to display an emotion in a way that I felt made it more clear what I felt? I don't even know. I don't really idolize Ozzy or Def Leppard or any of those 80's "hair band" folks, and I think a lot of those bands are on the wrong path in life, putting sin and sickness on a pedestal, but I can't really complain too much, because most of the music I enjoy doesn't even pretend to be positive..."having a good time" doesn't really compute with me. "Good time rock n' roll" seems ludicrous to me. But that's a sickness in and of itself. If Larry J. Ables is so thrilled at the prospect of owning a nicely packaged and mostly complete Ozzy collection that he's willing to oversell the product as being "the ultimate", I cant' really begrudge him. It's not right. It's hypocritical. I hate that I have become what I despise most. I'll have to keep watch on that in the future...
