9. The things that really bother me are the very preventable tragedies

like the gun violence or some religious nut letting their kid die rather than get treatment.
Sometimes when I am at home and hear a story like that on the radio I just scream, especially when someone comes on and asks for prayer.

Prayer??? Fix the fucking problem!

Fortunately, I haven't been pushed into a position where I am expected to do some religious act. But I am getting old enough that I don't worry as much as I used to about hurting feelings.

The wife's sister and family are pretty religious. When her mother died I thought we would be kind of cornered, but we got lucky.
