Thus Spake Misanthrope

"I hate people," Tad said.

"Why?" replied Simon.

"They're lazy, manipulative, entitled, selfish, violent and psychotic." Tad listed. "Worst of all, they are everywhere."

"I know what you mean, bro," Simon corroborated, "but if we couldn't exploit these shit heads, then we would be exploiting like-minded people, and that is bad for business."

Simon popped the the magazine out of his Glock and started packing more 9mm bullets down the spring-loaded clip.

"Why do you do that?" Simon asked.

"What?" Tad replied, "Hand pack my nine millimeter?"

"Yeah." Simon answered, "You auto pack everything else."

"It's more personal this way," Tad replied, "This was my grandfather's gift to me. He said it was my last line of defense in a big fight and my first one if I needed to do anything personal. He asked that I only hand pack it to keep my clip packing skills up. It keeps me closer to him and feel like he watches over me."
