At the face, it seems quite easy to explain. If you get a chance, find the segment in the movie "Easy Rider" where Jack Nicholson discusses issues with Dennis Hopper around a campfire. They do it better than I can.
The ultimate issue is that people all think that "life" is a panarama where they are the star in a movie that is about only them. They will debate you silly about freedom, until someone actually does something free and avant guarde. Then their safe little world collapses.
"
If you drive slower you're an impediment, if you drive faster you're reckless." You must drive like "they" do, at precisely 54 MPH, and in the wrong lane.
Frankly, I don't know where this silly macho dojo attitude started. The US Army is starving for manpower, but it seems like the only people who want to fight are in shopping malls.
Skidmark, at the end of the day, someone needs to explain it to me, too.
