riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand
up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others, hate
tyrants, argue not concerning
God, have patience and indulgence towards the

of men; go freely with
powerful uneducated persons, and with the young,

of every year of your life;
re-examine all you have been told at school or
church, or in any book, and
dismiss whatever insults your own soul."

"Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a
tough one, but I'll give it a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody
puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. So I take a shot
at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did
my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in
North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb
the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never
had a problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Send in
the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a sh*t. It won't
be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their
number was called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard.
It'll be some guy from Southie takin' shrapnel in the *ss. And he comes
home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country
he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his *ss got
his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom
breaks. Meanwhile my buddy from Southie realizes the only reason he was
over there was so we could install a government that would sell us oil
at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish to scare
up oil prices so they could turn a quick buck. A cute little ancillary
benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And
naturally they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, and maybe
even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink
martinis and play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til
he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic.
So my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to
walk to the job interviews, which sucks 'cause the schrapnel in his *ss
is givin' him chronic hemorroids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every
time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're
servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what do I think?
I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. Why not just shoot my buddy, take
his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village,
club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could
be elected president."
