I, like other young adults, wanted to connect a chain to earth and wear it around my neck, I had ambitions of being the next James Dean, but with Haitian heritage. I met Ilya and heard his revolutionary stories and thought this must be one bad dude, so of course I was in when he said he had a "job" at night. Wearing all black, including our ski masks, we entered the night, creeping like ballerina possums. We located the red coil wire and battery, and ran a wire from the positive side of the battery, then located the solenoid. Unlocked the steering wheel by taking a flat blade screwdriver and placing it at the top center of the steering column, saw the small wire at the top of the solenoid and the positive cable below. Crossed the two different terminals that they were connected to with pliers, cranked the engine, it roared loudly. I'll never forget that night, his howling maniacal laughter, and how I helped and assisted with Ilya hot-wiring his own 71 Ford Pinto...julius gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-286592958088031872009-12-10T08:29:10.415-05:002009-12-10T08:29:10.415-05:00Biologically, fighting along with procreation and ...Biologically, fighting along with procreation and search for food are primal instincts of animals and humans alike throughout many many years. It's part of Darwin's theory "survival of the fittest", we fight for mates, for honor, for survival. Just because this instinct has been dulled in us due to modern progress in the quality of life does not mean at all that it all of a sudden exhibits anti-social behavoir.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-22041737253083488632009-12-10T00:31:22.558-05:002009-12-10T00:31:22.558-05:00Anonymous said...

You are engaging with another person, so by defintion it cannot be an anti-social behavoir, it is quite social. It wasnt the only thing discussed in the interview but is the only thing you chose to focus on, if you are so sentitive and such things disturb you, I do not suggest reading horror stories before bed time. Whats more indicative of anti-social after all, getting into fights or making anonymous posts and hiding under one's computer?Ilyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998314504780560129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-3956226909385190752009-12-09T19:09:37.928-05:002009-12-09T19:09:37.928-05:00No trying to hide in this interview!!!
