It might be a good day to just stay in bed

NATIONAL HATE DAY: Go ahead, slug the guy who stole your girl. You'll fee nuch better.

Yes, for one day, total chaos and complete anarchy will reign, but we should all feel better at the end of the day, no? Well, we should, unless we've been the victim of someone taking out their frustrations. Of course, the jail population will probably skyrocket after August 31st.

An international panel of mental health experts has named August 31 as National Hate Day.

On this date, people all over the world are encouraged to smack their neighbors, kick their in-laws, tell off their spouses, send nasty letters to elderly relatives, punch rude clerks, throw drinks at waiters and do anything it takes to get out all the hostility they keep buried in order to be a "nice person."

"Our studies show that if an individual can look forward to a chance to express all the rage they suppress, it will dramatically slash stress levels," says Dr. Julius Finneberg, a Swiss psychiatrist who led the symposium in The Hague....

"Our research proves National Hate Day -- one 24 hour period -- will prevent and cure stress. Let it all hang out and the world will be a better place."

Sure, and I imagine the body count will be something to behold. Me? I don't think I'm going to be leaving the house that day. I'd like to live to see 45.
