Side Effects
/Don’t EVER listen to ANY one who wants you to.
One somewhat testy guy with apparent revolutionary inclinations recently was overheard to say, “For years I wondered why other people weren’t as concerned as me over the generally low level of humanity’s intelligence, and then one day – BAM, it hit me, I understood ‘why’…and besides being initially, and momentarily frightened, I was soon supremely relieved.”
It may further come down to: laugh-or-be-laughed-at.
Being dumb is YOUR side effect of being alive.
If you’re gonna ask for favors, don’t ask -- DEMAND.
