Well, maybe you're right. I dunno. I was just trying out the old Rodney King "can't we all just get along" argument.
But there is one thing I think all of us can agree on: The surest way to avoid the risks of daily life--the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune--is to be dead. Some of us would rather take their chances.
