Really? Human actions often have social or symbolic
reasons? Really? Thank you, professor. Let's get
beyond the 1960s and realize that, regardless of how
much time we waste with cultural studies and arguments
about nature vs. nurture, humans are still idiotic.

It is always good to attempt to examine all sides of
things in order to make adequate choices. I didn't
subsume anything. I made a joke. Outside of the
occasional review, I write almost nothing to this list
in line with my true thoughts, because, outside of the
occasional review, I have no respect for this list.

Ha. I don't want to tour space, I want to colonize
it. We'll need to sooner than we think, thanks to
smokers and SUV buyers. Or at least thanks to the
attitudes and lack of willpower that leads people to
those activities.
It's nice to know there will always be people ready to
take me seriously when I'm being very much the
reverse. Otherwise, a large source of my daily
entertainment would be lost.
