A human, is only as much human as what his hopes are, what he yearns 
for, and what his concerns are. Not a single millimeter beyond that.

If he reads "Bible" he is parochial. Tribal. Will never understand 
citizenship. Will never be anywhere beyond "country music."

Others who're beyond him are Camel Jockeys. Aliens. Chinks.

Read your Bible and then die. Not much more there is you can do.

Oh, don't forget to pay your NRL membership. You don't want to lose that!
