“Listen, Terry Jones is a moron,” Miller said. “I’m surprised he can get a fire started. But how that leads to guys getting their heads cut off overseas is crap. I’m getting sick of treating Islam like Fabergé eggs, where some moron in the Everglades lights up a book and you decapitate people overseas and people say Terry Jones started it they can start lighting Bibles up tomorrow. They could go ‘Fahrenheit 451’ with ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ my favorite book, and I would shake my head and go people are crazy. But this whole thing about I have got to get out and sever somebody’s head from their body. That’s crazy.”This kind of brings me to my theory about rules. Rules are meant for the people who create them, but that doesn't mean they're binding on me. For instance, Muslims have a rule that you can't burn a Koran. Fine, that's their rule and they should abide by it. However, it's not my rule and should I decided to ignore it, well, that's the way the prophet crumbles.
For some strange reason we've taken to accepting other people's rules as our own. Well, not me. If I decide to convert to Islam then I should abide by their rules. Until then, they have no authority over me.
I sort of feel the same way about the speed limit. If I decide to become a legislator then I'll abide by the speed limits I legislate. Otherwise, they're just suggestions.
