That I can be really morbid sometimes.

Here's some good reasons that Knoxville is a great place to live.

There are no Hitlers in Knoxville, but there are two in Nashville.

There's only one Dahmer in Knoxville. Probably a college girl.

Of course there are about 19 Mansons. So the Manson family does live here.

But there are no Gacys.

Are there any serial killers named Johnson? Or Smith? Probably.

I wonder if people with really recognizable serial killer, or bloodthirsty dictator names, consider getting their name changed, and if so, how many have actually done it.

No, I don't have too much time on my hands. I'm just a really quick searcher. Took me 5 minutes to reasearch and write this post. Came up with the questions while I was cleaning the house. This is what happens to me when you give me a mind numbing job like ironing. I desperately look for something else to do, and it's usually not quite as productive.

Whom Will I Disappoint? Whom Will I Please? Whom Cares?

How Liberal Or Conservative Are You?

The questions were sort of leading and limiting. I do think that abortion is wrong since it really kills somebody, and a woman could make something good out of a trauma by giving some childless parents a baby to adopt, but I think making abortion illegal across the board is extreme. I think a company's main responsibility is to it's shareholders, but any entity that has that much power has a great opportunity to do some good in the world, and I wish they would. I think social security is fine, but it would be awful nice to give people the choice to opt out. I think gay people should be able to do whatever they want, but they need to be careful in trusting any government to recognize their marriages on paper. What if the country makes a radical turn for the worse? Should anyone need or want government permission to marry anyway? As far as affirmative action and the like, I don't think anybody deserves "special" status above and beyond their inalienable rights to succeed or fail just like anyone else. Maybe it's the optimist in me, but if Maya Angelou or Oprah could make it with all the trouble they faced in their lives, anybody could. They're not godesses, just people. I think the death penalty is a good thing and should be used more often for child pornographers and abusers, rapists, and torturers. So there.

A Curse and a Blessing (or Thought You Might Like to Know Part 3)

It's both a curse and a blessing that eyebrows grow back. If you have two fighting caterpillars above your eyes that would make a Russian dictator squirm, then it's a curse. If you have a kid who got a bit curious with the razor, then it's a blessing.

Thought You Might Like to Know part 2....

I firmly believe if John Denver had looked more like Johnny Depp and less like Oliver from the Brady Bunch, more people would be gettin' down to "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" , and crying along with "Wildfire" entirely free from shame. I'm certain the girls would.

So now you know.

....that when I make macaroni and cheese I invariably begin singing the words "macaroni and cheese" to the tune of "Happy Birthday to You". It's fun. Try it.

Macaroni and Cheese.
Macaroni and Cheese.
Macaroni,
Macaroni,
Macaroni and Cheese.

Now maybe it will get stuck in your head when you make dinner for the kiddie's and I will have started an annoying little fad.

So now you know.
