    There are people I dislike a lot. There are people I wish would be hospitalized for a rare but non-life-threatening disease for a few years. There are people who infuriate me. There are people who I wish very long and painful deaths on (or, I suppose, very short and immediate deaths, followed by anticipated summary Judgment). There are people … well, there’s nobody I know who I would say I hate.
