Delectable

I was procrastinating and came across this "About Me" blurb on an old schoolmate's Facebook profile:

I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is visited by aliens on a regular basis... I believe that the future sucks and the future rocks... I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold... I believe that jade is dried dragon sperm and that it's areodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly... I believe in a personal god who cares about me and oversees everything I do and an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know I'm alive... I believe in a woman's right to chose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system... I believe in a universe of casual chaos, sheer blind luck, and background nosie... I believe life is a game, life is a cruel joke and life is what happens when you're alive so you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
