Since I am essentially a Travelling salesman going from house to house driving a big truck.. I see a lot of people every day, Almost all of whom reaffirm my generally pessimistic view of the human race.
Example:
I stop into my first at home customer of the day the other day. Pictures of GW mugging for the camera a well greased palm pressed against the flesh of up and coming casualty statistics line the wall.
I mention that I was a theater major in college and she instantly begins this long diatribe about how her son is such a great artist who is being held back by the liberal teachers at his school.
and then proceeds to have her other son bring down every picture this boy has painted since kindergarten. (Slight exaggeration.. it was really 4th grade)
Normally this wouldn't be a problem.. but she would go through each picture explaining to me how each line had meaning and how creative and talented he was.
of the pieces she showed me, only two weren't copies of other peoples artwork.. mostly tool album covers. As a result of her in depth (and incorrect) interpretations of her sons work I was running an hour late all day.
Damn republicans are annoying.

I always hated the oppressive liberal teachers in school.
If it weren't for the neo-cons and the christian coalition, the arts could never flourish in this modern, decadent, deviant society.
Every fool knows that creativity can only be fostered through a strong regiment of religious extremism, eradication of homosexuals, and the banning of a woman's right to an abortion...
I agree. If it weren't for deviant liberal teachers just think of how many more pictures of jesus we'd have in the world!
Jesus likes having his picture drawn. Apparently he was a fish.
