I KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR EVERYONE.
by George Irvine

Listen to me, because I know what is best for everyone. There are a 
great many problems facing America and the dive community today, and I 
have all the answers to all of them. 

Everyone should listen to what I have to say and heed my advice because 
I am correct. When I say that oxygen cleaning is unnecessary nonsense 
done only by strokes, you should agree. It is crazy to pay a man $10 
million just because he can put a ball in a hoop. Consuming a daily dose 
of Vitamin E will result in healthier, stronger dental tissue. We can 
prevent dozens of cave diving accidents simply by pulling the USDCT's 
Wakulla permit. No daughter of mine is going to step foot inside a 
church wearing a miniskirt. Those fat cats in Washington deserve each 
other. ScubaPro regulators are simply the best on the market. 

If your daughter is getting married, the groom's family should pay for 
bar expenses. Higher tariffs mean protection for America. It is 
important to support your local YMCA. Listen to me. We need longer jail 
terms for repeat drug offenders. If you are having a cookout to 
entertain friends, make both beef and chicken available. Mechanical 
rebreathers with dozens of moving parts are far safer and more reliable 
then CCRs with redundant electronics.

I also know the solution to the issue of campaign-finance reform. I 
wrote a letter to Florida Today to inform the citizenry what needs to be 
done, and that letter was published on Oct. 9. If you wish to know what 
needs to be done about the problem of campaign finance, you should find 
a copy of the Oct. 9 Florida Today.

How do I know about everything? That's simple: by being smarter than 
everyone else. 
Take, for example, one technical training agency's idea of dividing 
technical training into more courses. They are wrong, and I am right. 
Not only will that raise the cost of complete training for legitimate 
students, it will encourage low-commitment strokes to sign up for a one 
or two quick, cheap courses, thinking they are experts afterward. I have 
alerted the board members of the agency, but they have failed to heed my 
advice, because, as I mentioned earlier, they are not as intelligent as 
I am. 

One of the things I like best about myself is that not only do I know 
what is best for everyone, I always make sure to come forward with this 
information. I do not passively sit by, doing nothing about the problems 
around me. As soon as I determine what is right for my community, state 
or country, I speak up about it, writing a letter to the editor of a 
newspaper, talking about it loudly at a local park, writing about it on 
Internet mail lists, or forcing anyone who wants to dive with WKPP to 
DIR.
 
I also know what is right for individuals. I recently informed two guys 
at Ginnie who were using square, butt mounted lights that they were 
strokes. They were not perceptive, so they didn't understand that a 
cylindrical battery pack will withstand more pressure than a rectangular 
one. They also failed to realize that butt mounting the lights makes 
them difficult to reach. Fortunately, I am extremely perceptive and 
observant and was able to intervene. Tomorrow, I am going to write a 
letter to USA Today about the problem of international terrorism. That 
will solve this serious problem once and for all. Thank goodness for me.
