Recently there have been some things I don't understand about the political/religious/economic theories prevalent in American culture in my generation
1) Why does no one believe Global Warming is caused by man's evil and also support "Intelligent Design" theory they seem to go together to me. It's about reckless abuse to a well designed product Earth
2) Why is no one a pro-life feminists and how come racist don't seem to be pro-choice? Don't you think Whoopi Goldberg and Trent Lott seem like a natural couple?
3) Why are there so many smoking, pro-choice vegetarians? If it's vegetarianism for health why smoke? If it's for the sanctity of life why pro-choice?
4) Why do so many so-called Christians own guns and support war but hate taxes?
This is not to sound politically bias but to show why I hate people who tote party lines verbatim

Man's Best Friends- Scene X
(Brian at the park with Mike, Thomas and David in a glass jar with holes on the lid)
Brian (man): (frustrated) Happy David.
David (hamster): Oh yeah I just love all the fresh air and exercise.
Thomas (cat): (sarcastically) I could chase you around the park if you want fresh air and exercise.
Mike (dog): I gotta pee (gets up and goes to the bushes)
Brian: Thomas, how come you haven't gone you've been sitting here with us for two hours.
Thomas: Who said I haven't gone?
Mike: Sick, by the way, is Elizabeth meeting us here or not?
Brian: No I just thought a nice day out would do us all good.
Mike: Well I see her coming with her cat Bettie.
Elizabeth (librarian): (holding Bettie) Hello Brian, Mike, Thomas and I see you brought David.
Brian: (looking down embarrassingly) Yeah (talking to David) you see she does know about you.
Elizabeth: I love how you talk to animals as if they were people.
Brian: (Still looking down) Well they seem more human than humans.
Elizabeth: But they can't talk?
Brian: (looking at her) But they do communicate.
Elizabeth: (sarcastically) Telepathically I suppose
Brian: (serious) Sort of
Elizabeth: (looks serious again) I think I actually know what you mean. But if you can communicate with animals how come you can appear so empathetic and apathetic toward people though?
Brian: It's my gift.
Elizabeth: (laughs) Yeah a gift.
Brian: But what do you mean about apathetic and empathetic toward people?
Elizabeth: (concentrating) Well I keep trying to read you emotionally and see how you feel about various people especially me.
Brian: (shocked) Especially you?
Elizabeth: You see, you can seem apathetic and demeaning in your tone but empathetic and concerned by your body language or sometimes vice versa. Like you have two motives and you can't hide either.
Brian: (distracted) Great but what did you mean by especially you?
Elizabeth: You're always concerned about how women feel about you when it feels as if you're having conflicting feelings about the women you talk to.
Brian: (unconcerned) Yeah great but what do you mean especially you?
Elizabeth: You know most men I talk to can't focus, but you can, just never on the subject at hand.
Brian: Yeah bu...
Elizabeth: I mean that you seem to spend a lot of time around me so I think how you act around me is the natural you if there is a natural you if one can say there's an unnatural you. You can very instinctual but nervous and apprehensive at the same time.
Brian: Why are you so fascinated by me?
Elizabeth: You're different.
Brian: Everybody says that but not everybody is fascinated by me obviously.
Elizabeth: Not everyone finds being different fascinating just look at tv.
Brian: (laughs) That's all I do
(Bettie runs off Elizabeth's arms and chases a squirrel)
Elizabeth: Bettie come back here (running after Bettie while Mike runs blocking Bettie from the squirrel as Elizabeth picks up Bettie) Your dog sure is protective of the squirrels.
Brian: I raised him to love all animals (Mike attacks Thomas) Mike no stop that.
Elizabeth: (laughing) You'll make a wonderful parent some day
Brian: (nervously as he takes all his pets) Yeah well I better get going I have a lot of things to do back home.
Elizabeth: Just as well I was just on my lunch break and it's about over.
Brian: Yeah well bye (walks sheepishly away)
Brian (man): (frustrated) Happy David.
David (hamster): Oh yeah I just love all the fresh air and exercise.
Thomas (cat): (sarcastically) I could chase you around the park if you want fresh air and exercise.
