The most utterly ridiculous thing about it, in my opinion, is that they soop up their cars so much, to make them "race cars" or whatever, and they just drive them around the city. They don't race them. That irritates the hell out of me. Makes sense if you actually do go down to the race track and race, but to put all this time and money into it so you can get to work or the store faster is crazy. And why people think the "rice racer" image is cool is beyond me. Don't they realize they're the object of so much ridicule?

For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command or faith a dictum. I am my own God. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
