It NEVER is May 27, 2005
Sometimes while driving on the highways in Southern California, traffic comes to a complete halt for no apparent reason. Just cars stacked up as far as I can see. When this happens, I often catch myself hoping that it's because of a wreck, because you can get past a wreck and things open up again. But then I'm ashamed of myself for hoping that, because it would mean that some person is involved --maybe even hurt-- and I shouldn't be wishing for that kind of misfortune on an innocent person.
So I start hoping that it's a wreck involving Hitler's clone, because, you know, he'd deserve it.
But then I start feeling guilty about that, because the clone has got to be his own person, and maybe he's not that bad a guy if he was brought up in a loving home. Probably not, but maybe. And besides, cloning Hitler would be like a huge story, and if he were killed in a car accident we'd never get to interview the clone on our 24-hour news channels.
So I stop hoping that it's Hitler's clone involved in a wreck, and it NEVER is. Weird, huh?
