fias t weee,esett & T’art has provided an avenue by which to express individual complaints and opinions on issues of both relevance and irrelevance to those who voluntarily choose to subject themselves to it. It has, in a sense, established itself as a laxative in its encouragement of the discharge of current concerns. Bitching is this way in general. It is therapeutic, gratifying and even addic- tive. The knowledge that, at any moment, at the feeblest excuse of an excuse, we are all capable of spewing endless amounts of drib- ble in complaint of who knows what, is some- how reassuring and an important factor in the maintenance of one’s mental stability. Ex- periences such as being caught behind the idiot who, at the very last instant, decides to switch on his left turn signal while approach- ing the intersection at which you fully intend to run the yellow light, are suddenly made bearable through the release of copious amounts of insults based on the offender's origin and general state of disability and in- adequacy. To bitch about the incompetence of those around you and their lack of sem- blance to any intelligent lifeform, serves as a relief system from the pressures of frustration and aggravation one may feel. The beauty of bitching exists in the fact that the presence of the target is irrelevant to the effectiveness of one’s abuses in its potency to- wards self-gratification. Bitching, whether founded in fact or fiction is condusive to good health; we’d never be the same without it. | hope you feel better now. -Violet Finvers Iza glenda mathew I'm sick of complainers.

State - carr cont.’d from page 4 impressed, shocked or disgusted (pick any or all of these- they’re all good!) by them and by their work as readilly as | could have, had they been right upstairs; MOREOVER, they lose out with us too, for the visa versa !
