[Collage] An American Dream

As I've posted before, I have some strong opinions on gun laws in the US (here & here).

In summary, WTF.  China *has* the one child rule.  We have the one gun rule (literally, there are 300M civilian guns in the US).

Decided to harness that thought and put it into a collage today.  End rant :)

William Glasser's Choice Theory

Aimee Bee Brooks

I read Infinite Jest earlier this year on a 6 day train ride across Russia, Mongolia and China.  On day two, I reached a passage filled with truisms on life, ranging from humorous to profound:

"That trying to dance sober is a whole different kettle of fish... That 'acceptance' is usually more a matter of fatigue than anything else... That different people have radically different ideas of basic personal hygiene...That, perversely, it is often more fun to want something to have it.... That having sex with someone you do not care for feels lonelier than not having sex in the first place, afterward."

 He then states:

"That everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else.  That this isn't necessarily perverse."

Isn't that the truth?  Maybe it's something engrained in our psyche after learning that we're "all unique snowflakes' in kindergarten.

In reality, we are all a lot more similar than that unspoken, deep down belief.
