Many people argue the very
complexity and low probability or
our present mode of existence is
proof positive of the existence of
something beyond ourselves who
orders the Universe. However, the
past is no more than prelude, and
just because we think it's not likely,
it's already happened. After all, if it
hadn't happened, we wouldn't
wonder about it. Thus we are led to
see that the universe doesn't
require God, only men do, since
they cannot face the reality of their
own independent existence. Only
by accepting ourselves as the final
arbiters of our actions do we reach
true freedom.

To the bicyclist with whom I had a
near accident behind the Pub
Saturday night: As a former
bicyclist myself (until my Fuji got
ripped off), I know it sucks when
cars push you around on the road.
However, I never rode on the street
at night without a headlight, and I
don't feel it's fair of you to hold
motorists responsible for seeing
you when you choose to do so;
your reflectors don't do much
good when my headlights are
pointing 90° away from you. I
think it was particularly uncool of
you to make my 1 -month-old paint
job take the brunt of your anger,
aroused by a near mishap no more
my fault than yours. If you have
any comments, respond here or
call me at 660-0766.
