A trucker pulls into a café, sits at the counter and orders the blue plate special. While he’s waiting, a group of badass bikers pulls in and parks in a group blocking one of the exits from the lot. They walk into the café and start harassing the patrons. Two of the biggest baddest bikers stand on either side of the trucker and start taking food off his plate trying to goad him into a fight. The trucker stands up, throws a ten on the counter and leaves.

The bikers all laugh and one of them says loudly, “Sure not much of a man is he.” The waitress looks outside and says, “Not much of a driver either, he just ran his 18 wheeler over all those bikes outside.”


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
