ETS got me all riled up with this submission of his.
http://www.ubersite.com/m/80120
It's about Bush and his ridiculous and hypocritial statements among other things. Embedded in the story was a kick in the nuts to Hummers; possibly the most obnoxious item to be sold to the general public in the history of retail.
When I read it, it made me think of a charming little nugget of an anecdote I was involved in approximately a month ago. Allow me...
<Direct exerpt from review on ETS's post>
I was eating at a diner in Baltimore (because I live there) and some Ravens (professional American football players, although sucky this year) were eating there. They had some gigantor *bling* and were loud and rowdy, and causing a general scene. Autographs were given, pictures were taken... then as they left, I saw them walk outside to their Hummer, and noticed that it was parked in a handicap space. NO NO NO... not A handicap space... it was so large that it took up TWO, YES TWO motherfucking handicap spaces. I fucking hate Hummers and all that they represent, especially their owners. They. Are. All. Assholes.
<End exerpt>
After that incident, I realized something. It isn't any one group of people that's fucking up the world, America, or humanity. It's the assholes. People who are selfish and have no self control or respect for fellow man. As a reformed extreme liberal pinko commie treehugger, I used to blame the Right. More often than not, it is the Right who happens to be these assholes. But, I'm afraid even ghetto dwellers like the Ravens do selfish ridiculous things and I'm willing to bet not too many of them are Republicans.
If you've never read Ishmael, you really should and soon.
It's not about being Right or Left and it's not about deciding on one correct way to live. That's why I get so upset over gay rights and so forth. I don't believe there is a "right way" to live and nobody AND I MEAN NOBODY should tell me how to live. I'm no anarchist, but I also don't like the fact that marijuana is not legal and tequila is. I don't like the fact that my best friends are not allowed to get married. I don't like the fact that the people most in charge in the world ruin everything. It's about being responsible as keepers of the Earth and ourselves.
Now that I'm a middle-of-the-roader, I find everyone annoying. If you guys find a point anywhere in this rant, let me know.

I am pissed off at handicapped people because they get all of the best parking spots. We need to do something about these Corky fucks before they start getting their own bathrooms and movie theater seating.
Hey, you're in Baltimoe. I'm in Annapolis. We should hook up some time and talk about how badly the Ravens suck at football. After that, we can start our own little Uber click.

For chrissakes, I am saying that I AM judging. Pay attention. I AM JUDGING. That is my opinion. But I am NOT saying my way is the only right way. THERE IS NO ONE CORRECT WAY. Yes, everyone is an asshole at one time or another. Yes, everyone is hypocritial at one time or another. I.E. THERE IS NO ONE RIGHT WAY TO LIVE. Nobody knows the one right way, so I don't want someone making up rules who doesn't know what is best for me personally.
------------------------
Well I misunderstood the judging part, good for you I like to look down on everyone elses actions.
But as far as making rules, you don't live in a vacuum, somebody has to make up the rules. You HAVE to draw the line somewhere. It is a simple argument but when does your nose infringe on my right to swing my fist? Should we let people who want to bring up their children as christian scientists not allow their kids easy life saving medicine? Should we allow people the right to teach their daughters that they have to wear veils, and not let them go to school? You DO believe in rules. You DO believe in telling people how to live (to some extent), just because you think some laws limit what you do too much don't think you don't believe in limiting other peoples actions.

YOu lost me when you went into your rant here. You do believe there is a right way to live. Everybody draws a line somewhere and you are full of shit if you htink you don't.
Is it alright for people to have sex with animals, or little kids? How about beating their wives, or making them wear veils? Too out there? Fine you mentioned pollluting assholes.

JMG, Ishmael also has a lousy plot held together with his philosophy. The ongoing question in the book is "How things came to be this way." It's about how the human race has become what we are, and how it was just sort of decided that this is the right way to live. Quinn does have a habit of fumbling around his points. I thought I read the same chapter five times in a row. But in the end, I'm glad I read it.
Berty, I love you.

I liked Quinn's "The Story of B," but more for its philosophy, which would have easily been summed up in a page or two. His technique of using a crepe-thin plot to push the point seemed almost to weaken it. What's Ishmael about?
