DQ 16

Don Quixote is a series of aphorisms tied together loosely by the story of a wandering madman. It is the original travel story," Don Q told Seventy Percent as he applied the various bottles and cans to the two motorcycles.

"But I understand Don Quixote was set in ancient Spain.  There is no parallel to today."

"Oh pish, posh.  There is more royalty and insanity on the average street today than in spain and their wars with the moors are our wars with foreign economies and, of course, the moors themselves who we still battle whether they wish to fight us or not, they are forced to.
Who are these royals you are talking about.   There is no royalty in this country.
Are you really so naive you believe that, not to see them.
Are you referring to the politicians
Politicians?  They are slaves to every voter and the real royalty
Then who are they
They are the ultra-rich, the ultra famous.  those are the royals.  But they are only the backdrop to our adventures.  For as night errant and squire we will seek out to right wrongs and to make the downtrodden less down and less trodden upon."

Don Q was covered in oils and he got suddenly silent.

"What is wrong?"

"You would not know.  You never sold yourself out for money or a mere moment of peace.  Life never lead you to surrender love for expediency.  You have never committed crimes against humanity, against god himself for vanity."
"I am finished," Don said standing up.
"Have you abandoned this?"
"Ha!  Not at all, it is time to see if they will start!"
