I Don't Know Nothing
Easier than duck fat in muffin tins to figure out why Americans are so darn freaked out and polarized these days. It's because we're afraid. Afraid we've lost our way. Afraid of not being #1. Afraid of what may be in store. Of all that we don't know. Because, face it, there's so much we don't know. We don't even know... how much we don't know.
Seriously. When it comes down to it, I am prepared to not know 80% of what's going on. But what if what I don't know is more than I know it to be. Hunh? What then? What if what I don't know is more like 90%? Or 99%? I'm continually amazed I keep from impaling myself on forks at mealtimes considering how little I know.

Hey, Mr. Durst,
I just wrote in the piece preceding yours – talking about the 1923 play ``The Adding Machine'' – about mankind being ``impaled'' by the machine age. You write about impaling yourself on forks at mealtime now. Nothing changes, just the weapons. But maybe they don't.
