Not me, I've always been a big mouth troublemaker, like my father before me.
Uh-huh... Confidence doesn’t let you off the diagnosis.

I definitely wasn't shy as kid, I was trying to emulate my father, life of the party, social director, pathological flirt, and subversive to all authority.

I was always the guy who took the plunge and asked the girl for the dance, the other guys would wait for me to do it, so they would feel safe to.

Nowadays I'm like a junk yard dog, I don't like people anymore.

I'm still confident, I'm still extroverted when I need to be, but I just choose to keep to myself, because people are creepy these days, don't trust them, don't like them, don't want them around.

Canada has become the land of manipulative backstabbing self victimizing rats, they creep me out.

Would it be possible to make a flowchart like that for communism too and ignore Khmer, Mao, and Stalin because "real" communism has never been tried?

In all seriousness though they were pretty close in '89 to getting it right. Within 5 years they would have ironed out all the wrinkles in their Plan.
