Listen.

Can you hear that?

You can? ... What did you hear? Because I didn't say anything... Maybe you're hearing things. Maybe you have a really big imagination. Or maybe not, since you probably spend most of your time watching television or surfing the internet, i.e. letting someone else think for you. Not that you would necessarily be any more creative if it weren't for the media telling you what to think.

Maybe I'm assuming things. I mean, maybe you don't own a television set. And this might be your first time ever on the internet. This is the very first website you have ever visited. How did you get here? Maybe you are lost. Maybe it was your destiny to pay me a visit.

Or maybe you follow the news religiously, but fail to exhibit the groupthink characteristic of other humans. Are you even human? Well, maybe by the time you read this message monkeys would have evolved enough to be able to read. Evolution doesn't happen that fast.

Why all these questions? Maybe this, maybe that... Does it matter? Maybe it does. Let's wait and see.
