Ego or not, I see everything as a machine with inputs, outputs, engine, controls, someone driving, someone riding along, someplace to get fuel...

It needs repairs and changes, but it won't get done unless it gets shut off.

As long as everyone is having a good time, I'm just the kid yelling at them to stop and the more I yell, the more they are going to taunt me.

People are assholes and they aren't going to slow down until it kills them.

Bullies. Competition. Money. Intentional ignorance. "It's the Economy, Stupid!"

What is anyone's response ability?

"But! but! but! Peeeepull aren't machines, Auntie!"

The fuck they're not.
