That god awful contraption is practically screaming “there’s definitely something about it that would allow you to confiscate it if you just take the time to figure out what.”

Meanwhile, my 45mph ebike looks just like any 20mph ebike so if I just stay around 20mph where in supposed to nobody cares.

Imagine you just watched your child die because they needed a blood transfusion a week ago but it was against your religion.

This is like the story of Onan. His brother died so it was his job to marry his brother’s wife and give her a son. But he didn’t want to so he “spilled his seed.” So God killed him for failing to do his duty and provide her a son.

But later when God gave his laws for people to follow, the punishment was not death, it was to take him in front of the town elders and “remove a sandal from his foot and spit in his face.” Like c’mon. What are we even doing here, folks?

Leonard Cohen’s last song released days before he died was called “You Want It Darker.” One of the verses is:

“They’re lining up the prisoners and the guards are taking aim, I struggled with some demons, they were middle class and tame, I didn’t know I had permission to murder and to maim, You want it darker, we kill the flame.”

Anyway, that’s me, in the middle class. I could be better, but however bad I am, I’m still on the tame level.
