Listen up, you ageing, middle-aged, pseudo-hippie would you like to borrow this book. Because whether or not you grow-up in the projects is really important, whether or not your parents speak english is really important, enough food is important, your dad not beating the shit out of you is important, Mom's new boyfriend not raping you is important, medical and dental insurance is important.
You'll look to the stars for cause and effect, but not at these things that are right in front of you face?
