SCUM I TELL YA....SCUM!!!

Bernie Madoff? Scum.
Dude that ran the plant that shipped the poison peanuts? Scum.
A-holes @ AIG? Scum.

What do these jack-holes (and their all-to-numerous ilk) have in common you ask?

They think money is the shit. They let their desire for mo' money mo' money mo' money subvert the basic human decency they were (theoretically anyway) born with for the sake of the bottom line, a fancy car and a mansion w/ a heli-pad.

Scum.

They offer nothing, they take everything, in short...............they suck.

Screw them.

Let's talk about a better class of people. Let's talk about the folks @ JDRF for example. They will never be rich. They will never have a mansion w/ a heli-pad and they will damnsure never be doing the perp-walk from the courtroom to the jailhouse 'cuz they ripped a buncha folks off or killed some poor sucker to enhance the bottom line. (and their wallets)

What they will do is bust ass to make the world a better place.

What they will do is play a part in defeating Type 1 Diabetes and that means that they're gonna leave this world better than they found it.

And that, my friends, most definately does not suck!

This is a shout out,-and a long-overdue one at that - to everyone that has taken up arms to fight cancer, AIDS, hunger, homelessness or any of the plagues that bedevil this planet, be they man-made or a "gift" from the Gods.

You guys rock, w/ a capital "R".

Next time I'll talk about Bikelife, I promise.

Ride on, MC
