Oh, *NOW* I understand!  All this time, I *thought* you were warning us
of the dangers of speeding, drunken driving, road rage, and jay-walking.

But what you're *REALLY* saying is that wealth and power flow naturally
into the posession of genetic superhumans -- Der Ubermensch -- who are
*SOCIALLY* superior to the unwashed masses and *ECONOMICALLY* fittest
for survival.   Gee, Scott, I think you're onto something!  According to
Social Darwinism, they're the only ones who could *afford* to buy a
farm.

Or *maybe* you just wanted to demonstrate your superior language skills
(and prove Josh Turner wrong) by "literally painting yourself"....

...a most entertaining shade of *STUPID*!
