I hope you intended the bumper sticker as metaphor because I can't even afford a bicycle. Though I do already have one. Do people lock bicycles up in front of shinks' offices?
But I hear you. I may have said "treatment," but if I wanted docs & drugs, I'd have done that by now, especially since I get get that stuff for free. I can see what you mean by system shock. I've thought of that many times; I just don't know what form that would take. I live in a turtle shell.
