HUMAN EMOTION: SADNESS


Humans form strong bonds with each other known as relationships. They appear to be the specie's strongest catalyst for emotion, other than art.

One kind of relationship between a "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" is called dating. It's a ritual of going out to eat together at Olive Gardens, playing miniature golf, and fondling one an other's sexual organs.

When the bond between boyfriend and girlfriend, or lovers, is no longer valid the practice of "breaking up" commences. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to years to be completed.

It is during this transaction that one or more of the humans expresses the sadness emotion. It can be very powerful. Even evoking other emotions like anger. The whole operation seems to part of healing method to bring the humans psyche back to equilibrium.

Let us observe this trait in a male subject ripe with emotion sadness. Notice the furling of his brow, the sternness of his eyes, and how the corners of his mouth turn downward. These signs appear to be consistent with our findings. One symptom of sadness that seems to be absent in "Ricky" is crying. Although, it can be inferred that he probably does this consistently into his pillow at night.

UNDERSTANDING POLITICS


There is a sort of euphoria that has engulfed America since the election of current President Barack Obama. It is yet to be determined if it is deserved. Maybe the fact that we haven't much of anything to hang our hat on lately has something do with it. Since I have no credentials to judge, time will tell.

However, it concerns me generations of new democrats have been spawned more out of admiration for the president's celebrity status than his actual politics, not a new concept.

Remembering the elections of 2000 and 2004 when the country was divided along the lines of right and left, conservative and liberal, red and blue, without knowing their true definition, one realizes that political affiliation is quite superficial.

The retardedness of this country's voters seems to be at the core of issue. Most can't remember the 11+ political parties that have held power in America since the 1700's, let alone name them. More importantly, they don't know how the issues align with their personal beliefs. Evident in the following Howard Stern video.



Sadly, not shocking.

So KPM has collected some tools to help you determine and remember your own political affiliation.
