Let Me Think for Myself!

I am mad! Isn't that a helluva way to start, particularly when I want to say something and have somebody listen? All my life I have heard, "If you want to make a point, be calm, be reasonable, be fair." I think I am being all of those things, but the depth of my feelings sometimes gives my communications a bit of an edge. I have been waiting at least ten years to say what's coming, I am not calm.
