Also, WTF is wrong with bars? Bars are great.

I can't remember what book it was, maybe something by Douglas Coupland (?) He talks about how there was probably some guy just like him in 200 AD, in the Roman Empire, going through exactly what he's going through now. Forgotten to history, all his thoughts. And he's just that guy all over again.

Compared to beating the shit out of yourself for not being Mohammed or Ghengis Khan, Bars are just fine.

Was Marcus Aurelius the first guy to make the observation that he was probably a clone of someone born 2000 years earlier?
