It's strange for someone to simply desire knowledge for knowledge's sake, but the most powerful men in America condemn 'curiosity-driven research' (as if there were any other kind) and then turn around to spend billions of dollars on research into how to kill people. "I want to know everything there is to know about everything" tells people you're a looney with no connection to reality; "I want to know everything about killing people I've never met" tells people you're the kind of person who should be running a country.
It's strange for someone to be turned on by violence and bondage, but people have put a great deal of time into the process called 'vaginal rejuvenation'. I like to be rough in bed, but someone I truly fear meeting once thought "You know, sex is great, but wouldn't it be better if I shot lasers into my wife's vagina for a while?"
It's strange to look at an equation and see beauty, but many of the finest minds the world has ever seen devoted their lives to destroying each other. When I see e=mc^2, and I read that as "energy and mass are related in strange and beautiful ways", nobody around me knows what that means, but when someone read that as "We can use this to blow those fucking fuckers up" it was a stroke of genius.
I once feared that it was selfish to kill someone to protect myself, but the same most powerful men mentioned above think it's best for humanity to kill others for black, liquid death.
I thought I had relationship issues when I realized that, no matter how great a woman was, somehow I had to come to terms with one of us having to watch the other one die, but then I found that for a quarter a week people rent wedding rings when they want the pomp and extravagance of a wedding without having to want things to work out.
I guess I'm not so strange after all.
