Thinking in the commode is bad ... mmmkay

I had an epiphany. In the place they should occur ... in the crapper. This is actually a good self question that has me baffled. Ready? Well, that doesn't matter, I'm writing it anyway.

Why do I care about the future of humanity and the betterment of my community if I generally don't like people?

I have friends, and I like them, hence, the title "friends". I do not like crowds. I think people (mind you, not an individual person) are stupid. Groups of people are reactionary and don't think. People are out to cover their own ass. The individual is a person with needs and trials of their own, and possibly similar to mine. Thus I am sympathetic to the individual. Groups of people are still humanity, thus, my quandary.

I am a "Buy Local First" advocate. It's better for the community if the locally owned business succeeds over the national chain. The money is more apt to stay locally, thus contributing to the betterment of where YOU reside, rather than sending support elsewhere. I also have no problem paying taxes so others may go to school. Educations makes a more efficient "smarter" people and community.

So why should I care if I think most people suck? I'm a humanitarian that doesn't like people. Is that right? Is it because I have a need to teach my children to be good people, no matter what? To treat others like I would like to be treated? (BTW, I think it's the only useful religious teaching ... although the religious are generally intolerant to those with differing opinions, but I digress.) I will stay the same until I find reason otherwise. I will keep treating those who do not respect me with respect. For no other reason than I do not have faith in you? Make sense?

So there it is, me being serious.
