GF,

The tyranny of ideas, the tyranny of ideas, easy conquest of people who can't think for themselves. 10 years from now, imagine the people trying to sell the beaver-gnawed table in the local classified? "What was I thinking?"

The tyranny of ideas, it's what propels 60,000 to go out and brave traffic jams in the worst weather possible, crowd into a concrete stadium with ice cold seats, watch a football game with poor viewing, eat and drink overpriced and poorly prepared fastfood, next to drunks and galoots, wait in line to empty the ole water bottle (missing the key play of the game), then wade out with the crowds, endure two traffic jams, each adding an hour to an already long day, one in the parking lot and one on the exit highways--AND CALL IT HAVING A GREAT TIME AT A BIG TIME SPORTS EVENT.

The tyranny of ideas is also responsible for crazy ideas such as veganism (hey, how come those Vegans hate plants so much?), leasing automobiles and the rise of Nazism and Socialism.

Oh, yes, and 10-day, 14-city tours of Europe.
