Are you richer than I am, poorer than I am?" So you ask a guy what do you do for a living, it’s the same thing as asking a guy, let me know what your politics are... David Mamet

Do you know? What things would either of us reach for? Neither of us know. After all these years we just wouldn't know. Doug Coupland
