The other day I was eavesdropping on a table of very cute young ladies at the next table while at a restaurant with the wife. One of them said she was going to get a present for her grandfather's birthday. She said he was REALLY old, like 55 or something. I choked on my beer and my wife is still laughing about it. I think that girl's grandpa MUST actually be somewhat older.

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.
