interesting explanation george... i have another theory as well...

there are certain people who are merely malcontents right from the get go... perhaps price is one of those. perhaps lois is one of those...

negativity and hatred speak resoundingly to the personality of the person's state of mind and not necessarily to the things happening around the person in some cases... one might say it is a form of mental illness...

>>no, if this were a new thing and a deep wound caused
