Jesus in America Pt. 24

"Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters." - B. Dylan

Yes. Don't want to follow Jesus in America. He's not very sociable  and he doesn't have a posse. And don't want to follow anyone else either. Thinking of the Usual Suspects: Krishna, Buddha, Mohammad, etc.  All those weighty entities with all their weighty thoughts and philosophies and instructive tales.

I'd rather be a "gleaner,"  - to gather, pick, choose & accumulate stuff from everything and everyone around me. Just the best stuff. And make up my own mind, come up with my own ideas, out of all those accumulated things. That seems smart. Don't try to invent a wheel, grab a wheel, and modify it to my own purposes.
