Rantings on the 1 Bus

Riding the 1 bus between Hynes Convention Center and Central Square is ALWAYS an adventure, most likely a crowded one, but today we got special notes on life from a homeless-esque, sort of destitute-looking fellow, with some personal effects that ranged from a giant trash bag, a duffel bag, and a tall plant...I'm not sure where these things came from, or where he was going, but his life wisdom was another proud moment for Mass public transit. See below for his thoughts on a few subjects...(Headings are my own, quotes are 100% real...)
Rehabilitation: "I'm right outta Bridgewater State Mental Hospital for the criminally insane...They said 'get this ni**a outta here'"
World Peace: "Violence is not the answer... I still wanna get even for the World Trade Center"
Funerals: "See these flowers, aren't they nice? I could bury you with these"
Exercise: "I can bend and stretch. I'll put some moves on your a$$"
Populism: "I could be riding by in a chauffeur-driven limousine, but I ride with the people. I'm with the people"
Not settling: "I want some chicken wings. I have everything else I want"
On group participation: "Somebody else speak up"
God: "The final word for today, God is great"
