"I did have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on Europeansocialism. But, I'm not European, I don't plan on being European, so who givesa crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists for all I care.It still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condonefascism. Or any isms for that matter. Isms in my opinion are not good. Aperson should not believe in an ism. He should only believe in himself. It'slike John Lennon said, 'I don't believe in Beatles I just believe in me.' Agood point there. After all he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus... I'dstill have to bum rides from people."
