"We're only human if we act like humans." This statement of mine came in a discussion with my brother, Daryl, of how taggers tagging their territory is no different than animals marking theirs. Daryl has noticed--and I must agree--that there is a marked increase in graffiti in places where it hasn't been in the past. A good example of this is when Bella pointed out, with much dismay, the graffiti on the Barnes & Noble. What would be a good punishment for graffiti?
I've been reading the paper a lot lately, and today there was an article I wanted to comment on. It was about this 87 year old man who drove his car into the rear-end of another car, proceeded to drive around the car, and then plowed through a farmer's market, killing 10 people and injuring 63 more. He just recently had a preliminary hearing in which his defense blamed the "accident" on various health problems the man has. This makes me wonder:
- What "condition" of his caused him to ignore the original accident?
- Should someone in poor health be allowed to drive?
- Shouldn't there be an upper age limit for driving, where we say it is no longer safe for people to drive after a certain age?
I am very happy with my recent purchases of Steve Miller Band's Young Hearts: Complete Greatest Hits and Marilyn Manson's Lest We Forget: The Best Of. An odd mix, I know. But that's me!
I am feeling pretty good right now. I've even just remembered that I forgot to take my medicine. That's how good I'm feeling!
Did I mention I now have a CD burner that works with Linux? Yup, burning shall commence shortly....
