Compelled

What is it that drives man to explore uncharted territories, take on incredible burdens and risk life and limb just for adventure? Is there an equal and opposite reaction for everyone of these people who yearn to get out and explore there is someone content to sit on the couch and turn off their brain and become a part of the scenery?

Is it the American Dream? Is that what each one of us is purseing in our own devious way? Does the man on the couch have the same shot at the dream as the one out on the road? Who's to say.

It may still be out there, or it may have died along with Hunter Thompson, the last great true American...
