you know,it's going to be alright

you say you want a revolution? well, you know we all want to change the world...

given an infinite amount of time we'll all make jerks out of ourselves, it's not a question of "if" it's only a question of "when." knowing this, all one can hope to do is both postpone the inevitable and/or choose to allow it to happen in a controlled environment where it is either acceptable or merely allowable.

i'm not perfect, as those who have had even cursory exposure to me can attest, and not being perfect makes me susceptible to the aforementioned rule, thus i go to great pains to allow myself to be a jerk as little as possible and usually fail miserably at these efforts. these failures have become fodder for those who enjoy nothing more than to recount these stories repeatedly in front of the very people i'd avoided looking like a jerk to in the first place, which often results in my acting like a jerk again. see a pattern?

this is where you can change the world. this is where you can make a difference. forget green peace, salvation army, good will, and habitat for humanity... almost all of the greatest atrocities in human history were perpetrated by jerks and egged on by jerks, all we have to do to save the world is stopped being jerks to one another. it's so simple... it's not even original, an early proponent of this idea ended up getting nailed to a tree for suggesting it, but that didn't make him wrong! on the contrary, it just proves that jerks don't like to be called jerks and will respond unpleasantly.

so do you part! knock it off!
