I wonder, you are down there in a humble kayak because you are not a bully, you are at mercy of the elements and you have to use your brain and skill to survive; and you believe in "smaller is better;" and you see the ocean all polluted around you, stuff thrown overboard of motorboats floating everywhere; and the motorboats whistle past you; and there are no places to launch while there are many motorboat ramps; and you see the shark always chasing the sardines... How can you be a Conservative???? I mean, kayakers MUST be on the side of the sardines, and for change and revolution!!! There is a tv commercial for a model of Ford truck. Two guys in a small imported pick-up are hauling a trailer full of canoes up a mountain. The trailer breaks loose and careens back down the mountain. The two guys jump out, t-shirt and shirt tails untucked, reeking of unprofessionalism. They look with alarm and befuddlement as the runaway boats gain speed and distance. Back down on the main road a husband and wife drive their big Ford truck to their vacation house on the lake. Behind them in-tow is a beautiful, large and powerful wooden powerboat. The boat looks like a piece of furniture in a museum, a work of art. Well-groomed, teeth asparkle, not a hair or thread out of place, the couple cruise in opulent luxury, not getting more than 5 miles per gallon. Suddenly, the trailer load of canoes launches out of the woods to make a smash and grab attack on their confident world. The husband swerves quickly and nimbly, professionally, to avoid the attack. The canoes miss their target and crash helter-skelter into the woods. The husband and wife smile at each other, not a hair out of place, having avoided the petty nuisances of the lower class. They continue, unruffled, to their vacation house on the lake. Class has its privileges. -- "This president has destroyed the country, the economy, the relationship with the rest of the world. He's a monster in the White House. He should resign." - Hunter S. Thompson, speaking to an antiwar audience in 2003. |
