20 May 2001 - king of the Earth
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
I recently became king of the Earth, and I’m finding the job
more difficult than I expected. The choices seem so evenly balanced:
Should I require HMO’s to include life insurance in their coverage,
or outlaw the word “sociopolitical”, or crack down on dryer lint?
Should I assemble a team of scientists to study whether I really do
sing better when nobody’s listening? And when I’ve worked all night
making the world a better place, should I get up or hit the snooze button?
