“If 'The Wild One' were filmed today, Marlon Brando and the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club would all have to wear helmets. I used to be afraid that when (Hells) Angels became movie stars and Cal the hero of the book, the bikerider would perish on the coffee tables of America. But now I think that this attention doesn't have the strength of reality of the people it aspires to know, and that as long as Harley-Davidsons are manufactured other bikeriders will appear, riding unknown and beautiful through Chicago, into the streets of Cicero.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsLongBookRealityTodayAmericaBeautifulUsedStarsBlackAttentionHellStreetsHeroAngelTablesClubsCoffeeUsed To BeChicagoRebelRidingAspireMovie StarMotorcycleHelmetBrandoHarleyHarley DavidsonHells AngelsWild One Author:Danny Lyon

“Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars and even their sizes and distances... and this knowledge he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, which people see as ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn.” PeopleKnowsWorldShouldReasonEarthChristianHeavenStarsSituationLaughingIgnoranceDistanceSizeScriptureCertaintyNonsenseOffensiveEmbarrassingScornOrbitUnbelieversDisgraceful Author:Saint Augustine

This was a perfect instance of a general rule that I call WYSIATI, "What you see is all there is." We had made up a story from the little we knew but had no way to allow for what we did not know about the individual's future, which was almost everything that would actually matter.
