"Just the other day the AP wire..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson
Just the other day the AP wire had a story about a man from Arkansas who entered some kind of contest and won a two-week vacation--all expenses paid--wherever he wanted to go.

Has he come to grips with the issues? Has he bathed in the blood of the lamb?

“The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety.”
“Dignity of human nature requires that we must face the storms of life.”
“We all seem to stumble, planning our own demise,Getting the big picture, and making it wallet-sized.”
More on Absurdity
“There are very few moments in a man's existence when he experiences so much ludicrous distress, or meets with so little charitable commiseration, as when he is in pursuit of his own hat.”
“Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!'”
“Nothing is too absurd to be said by some of the philosophers.”
