Well, well, well......
This past weekend was NASCAR hell for those of us in Sonoma County. Highway 37 was already clogged at lunchtime this past Friday. I should know, as I was stuck behind a convoy of trailers and RV's trying to get into Sears Point as I was returning from a meeting in Concord. Oh.... I guess it's not Sears Point anymore, but is now known by some other corporate name that escapes my consciousness at the moment -- and for good reason.
Each year we are bombarded with NASCAR groupies who travel about the country like carnies in their motorhomes/campers/trailers/tents/whatever. Maybe betwixt all of them you will get a full set of teeth and a collective IQ of 89.
These slack-jawed fools will drop their entire life savings to catch a glimpse of some NASCAR jack-ass dressed in a brightly colored racing garb covered with corporate logos and named sponsorships.
What has this NASCAR racing hero these morons worship done to further the advancement humanity? What has this NASCAR contributed for the betterment of society? Here is the answer. He has circled his car around, and around and around, and around, and around again, in a circle. Faster than anybody else. That's it.
And no, some lame sound byte by the NASCAR hero plugging the United Way videoed at a pit stop does not count for the betterment/advancement of society.
Is that what it takes to be a hero in our society? Drive around in a fucking circle faster than anybody else?
We really are a nation of idiots.
