Default OT but great



It's a tragedy that idiots have an audience. Ebert writes:

So much is simply chance. You can't plan for bad luck. You can't pass
laws against it. You can't be innoculated for it. You can't wear
protective clothing. Forrest Gump inspired the bumper sticker, ****
happens.



So much is simply chance. (true but people change risk profiles by
adaptating protective measures - helmets, safety belts, etc)

You can't plan for bad luck. (luck favors the prepared, falling off a
clifff = bad luck. falling off a cliff with a parchute = adrenaline
high)

You can't pass laws against it. (speeding, drinking, seat belt laws,
etc prevent bad luck)

You can't be innoculated for it. (vaccines prevent a host of 'good
old days' childhoo diseases and they prevent elves gnomes and fairies
etc from inhabitting the unknown innards and possesing our souls)

You can't wear protective clothing. ( oh really talk to a
dermatologist, skateboarder, or anyway that raced in the KC cyclocross
nationals a few years ago. )

Forrest Gump inspired the bumper sticker, **** happens (dumbass, the
sticker was out 6-8 years before the movie)

Ebert is a ****ing moron.
