A Random Fact That Is Totally And Absolutely True, Number 7

There once was a man from Nantucket, which is pretty normal, even given the sparse population of the area. What's so special about him? He invented a flying pig to get his car back from his friend.

Listenin' to the Radio

So, as I was driving home from work today I heard and interesting add on the radio. It was for a company that you can pay to have drive you home from the bar. They literally have people to be you and your buddies DD (Designated Driver) so no one had to be screwed out of the fun. As I was thinking about this, I realized something:

You have no excuse.

There is absolutely no more god damn excuse to be driving drunk, there are people out there that will make sure you don't. There are now services one can purchase to make sure that they don't getin trouble/get anyone killed. Anyone who still chooses to drink and drive has no more excuse.

And that made me realize that, despite all this people still will, and get caught, and bitch about how the rules are unfair and punishments shouldn't be so harsh and all that other crap. and if anyone's ever bitching to me, I'll just have to bring that up and say, "You no longer have an excuse, it's too easy to find a way around drinking and driving."

And that's that.

A Random Fact That Is Totally And Absolutely True, Number 6

The average Kenyen can run a 10k Marathon in 15 minutes, the only reason they take so long in the olympics is so they don't embarass the other athletes.

Ah, crap

Another random break, more life, more insanity... I won't bore you with the details. I will say I just got back from a lovely four day vacation though, and I am quite ready to do that again soon.

with that, I will say something small, on the subject of Keynsian economics. That's the general economic policy that you and I live under. It's kind of ridiculous, I'm beginning to understand. It's essential that we as a culture expect (and have expected since the 1930's) the government to step in every time there is an economic problem.

Why do I find this ridiculous? Well, mostly because I think the government is full of shit, and now to learn that our entire economic theory is based of the government helping us whenever shit goes down (sometimes shit caused by said government), I'm just kinda stupified. Of course, there is still alot for me to learn, and maybe I will understand in time, but right now I just find it ridiculous.

More to come on what I feel are some of the effects of this later, now, more Detroit 187.
