Profundity
I picked up a new date book -- actually it is "The 2007 Philadelphia Date Book" which lists all the events in Philadelphia for 2007, important numbers, etc., etc., and, as an added bonus, gives you a quote or saying each week -- I have found many of them so far to be rather profound and now refer to them as the weekly profundity. I have been very good and have not skipped ahead to read all 52 for the year -- I've decided I want to be inspired each week with a new profundity. I have found two so far that have really touched me:
"Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." M. Scott Peck
"I will permit no man to narrow or degrade my soul by making me hate him." Booker T. Washington.
These actually go together, in my opinion. See, once you value yourself and value your time, you come to the conclusion that hate wastes way too much time and energy. Although trite, it is still my unending plea (especially in a house with four children) "Can't we all just get along?"

Is it okay to hate Hello Kitty?
How about Walmart? Many people hate Walmart, it seems very popular to do so (though I personally love Walmart)

I know a group of people who have boycotted Walmart -- and I understand that they are making a statement, but as the mother of a family of six -- three of which are in the middle of the pre-teen/teen years, I couldn't feed my family without SAMS Club -- so I, too, personally love the SAMS Club/Walmart group. I think that Hello Kitty may be an exception to the "Hate" rule.

My mother-in-law and brother are in that boycott group. Maybe not officially, but my mother-in-law won't buy anything from Wally World. My brother's wife shops there, so he inadvertantly spends his money there...
