Behold, the snow plow!
March 20th, 2003 | by Brian |This evening I can be drawn in by: BBC’s coverage of the Iraq War, finding a philosophical explanation of when it’s OK to execute a preemptive strike against a potential threat, or the snowplow-equipped pick-up truck outside plowing the parking lot. The winner, of course, is the Mr. Plow, or the Plow King. There’s something about it. The way the snow rolls up in the huge shovel, or the headlights connected to the plow apparatus making it look like a beast of some sort. But then I wonder how the driver controls the plow from inside. I even fantasized that the driver would let me try it out. Shoot, now he’s in the back lot, where I’m typing. I can hear the back wheels spinning in struggle. Be right back. It reminds me of erasing a chalkboard with a big wet sponge. Whoosh, all gone. A quick and decisive victory is expected for the snowplow, as it will liberate all the cars from their spaces, and allow their owners to return to work and earn money - to be stolen from us in the name of freedom.
