What beast? The only beast that I know of is human nature, and we are ALL
in control
of what we say or do unless we are mentally incompetant. Complaining and
criticism is a symptom, not a cause.  We had best all count our blessings
and caste the mote out of our own eye, before trying to caste it out of
another's.  I still say we should be here to support one another and help
in every way we can.  Peace to you, my friend.
