why do people always refer to so-and-so "not being rocket science" when making a point about something not difficult. now, i hate clichés as much as most of you do (i hope), but surely rocket science can't be the hardest ideology to grasp. why can't we refer to astrophysics... or better yet, a philosophical branch like existentialism? now i may not be able to put together a device that can fly through space, but i'm sure it would be easier than trying to figure out what our purpose of being is. can you tell i am in a funked up mood? you feelin' me here?
