You bet. I got 3/4 of the way through and stopped. Argh. So many things now I just have to pass on reading, because I am normally a darned happy person, and these things fill me with very negative feelings.
At least when the weather improves, I’ll go out to my hammock with my pipe and a beer to look at the stars. Right now, I just don’t even want to see people.
The sight of so many sheep bothers me.
I’m right in the same boat as you. It pains me deeply to see so many brainless and mentally devoid lackeys mulling about.
