Breaking up
Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead. -
This Friday, the 18th, untill the 4th of Jan.

23..again
spooky huh ?Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
