wherein I meet an aging (self-proclaimed) hippie while awaiting a tire rotation…
Hippie: (speaking to no one in particular) “…these gas prices are outrageous! You can’t tell me that Bush isn’t behind all this; nobody’s making more money on this than him!” … “Bush is the devil” …
You get the idea. I thought he was about to launch a gas price sit-in, then he transitions into a “Big Brother” rant.
Hippie: “…the government watches you through GPS and the Internet.”
Me: “You know, they are probably keeping tabs on you right now through the microchip in your digital watch.”
Silence. The hippie gets up from his seat and walks away. A few minutes later, I spy the hippie behind a tire display…
he’s examining his watch!

That is quite crazy… How far gone are these people?
Mind you, all this ranting about being watched and police-states is probably projection of their own desires.
Richard: That’s interesting. So, you’re saying that on some subconscious level, this guy wants (or needs) to be watched? Perhaps, but one thing’s for sure, he was certainly entertaining! :-)
