"I can believe anything. You have no idea what I can believe. "" Oh yeah? "
" I believe in real things and others are not, and I believe in other things that nobody knows if they are real or not. I believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles, Elvis and Mister Ed Watch in ... I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular, good aliens and all that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad aliens who mutilate cattle and want our water and women. I believe the future is worrying that one day and the Buffalo-White Women will come back to kick everyone's ass. I believe that men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline of sex in America is coincident with the drive-in. I think all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I think they are better than the alternative. I believe that when the big earthquake in California will sink into the ocean, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our capacity for resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like the Martians in War of the Worlds . I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was an armed Siberian shaman. I believe that humanity's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste as good when I was a kid, that an aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that somewhere there is a cat in a box alive and dead at the same time (although if they do not ever open the box to feed it will end up being just died) and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself. I in a god that all my worries about me and protects all my actions. I believe in an impersonal god who set in motion the universe and then went to have a good time and do not even know that. I believe in a universe devoid of gods, moved by chaos, noise and sheer blind luck. I believe that all those who say that sex is an overrated activity have never done it. I think everyone sostienga to know how the world will lie even about small things. I believe in honesty and the absolute need for sensible social lies. I believe in women's right to choose, the right of a child to live, that if every human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty, if it is You can trust the legal system, and that only a fool would trust. I believe that life is a game, a cruel joke, and that is the thing that happens when you're alive, then we might as well enjoy it. "
