Rules to live by

"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." - P. J. O'Rourke

Hey Rodger, have you ever read P. J. O’Rourke's "All The Trouble In The World: The Lighter Side of Overpopulation, Famine, Ecological Disaster, Ethnic Hatred, Plague, and Poverty" ??
If not, I STG it's the funniest book I've ever read and I'm sure you'd enjoy it. Nearly every page is laugh-out-loud hilarious. The chapter about the rain forest is worth the book's price, alone. For instance, he tells a story about trading T-shirts with Amazonian natives for their hand-made crafts. He describes his delight at seeing these people running around the forest wearing American Flag shirts with the words "Try to burn this flag, asshole." printed across the top.
Then he goes and gets infected with chiggers and hilarity insues.

Didn't PJO also write "I want the one thing that no government has ever been able to do -- leave me the hell alone"?
