I have a theory that you can get anybody mad over any little thing. It's not hard, people just like to be upset. So here's something I read today.
George Smathers ran against Claude Pepper in the 50's for Senator of Florida. Now, Smathers knew he had to run down Pepper to win, so he got people all fired up against Pepper by telling all sorts of true statements about him to belittle his character. Here's a few of them:
He let people know Pepper was a "known extrovert."
He said Pepper's sister was a "thespian."
He called Pepper's brother a "practicing homo sapiens."
Said while Pepper was in college he "openly matriculated."
And one more. Smathers said that before Pepper was married he "engaged in celibacy."
The people were upset, and they spoke. Smathers won.
And by the way, if you're actually upset by anything said here, get a dictionary.

...and like you said on sunday night about the sayings, 'if you don't know these, you need to read more.' the same holds true for these vocabulary words.
