What the hell is a government good for anyway? We are told social distancing and masking, etc., is to be a matter of individual choice. OK. I’ll buy that. But then so are taxes, bicycle lanes, fighting the Nazis, traffic lights, parking fees, etc. etc. etc. Murder and robbery anyone? Right!
Years ago, in a different world, my brother exploited the greed of credit card companies, absolutely legally mind you, to earn tens of thousands of dollars, two free cars and dozens of other perks. He actually employed people to aid him. He had no interest other than Beating The System by playing its own game to an unimaginable extreme. He had been a chess master at 17. He held up a cheap plastic trophy. “This is what I got for being a master,” he said. He held up a bag of money. “This is what I get for using the same skills.” He’d leave bags of cash sitting around his never-locked home, like trophies. I always said that with a thousand like him I could bring down the whole system.

6. Declaring that God is 'on your side' establishes one as an enemy of God.
Setting The Record Straight
Scott Krauss and his buddy Nick Blakey like to claim I fired Peter Laughner. Peter quit.In 2000 the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame honored Pere Ubu. Scott Krauss gave a interview to the Cleveland Plain Dealer smearing Pere Ubu, at one point demanding that David Thomas just send him the checks he's owed. He knew that, at that point, I had nothing to do with accounts and the checks didn't come from me but from manager Nick Hobbs.
