Those who most need help seldom realize it. Did Franklin say that? He should'a.

That's odd, considering you only just now got a backup camera. So before a few years ago, you didn't recognize you needed help? Shouldn't you have flagged people down to help you back up?

Sure it was. And you never got hurt from a toilet, but thousands of people did last year. What do you plan to do to address this horrifying problem?

My second car with one. It helps. If you can convince me that making it easier for me to drive more safely is a bad thing I'll call you Aristotle.

Flag people down? You take things to an absurdity and consider it profundity.

Nonsense if I truly needed the help then I would have hit something by now. I haven't yet. Pity that.

Only your first sentence has merit, the rest is your usual appeal to the absurd.

It's not absurd. You threw out a saying that YOU thought was profound, but which is childish. If you actually believe that saying, then how did you suddenly get "smart" a few years ago? And it would mean that by definition you were ignorant before you knew you needed the camera. That's just truth. Don't just like the saying when you want to use it.

It's only absurd because it uses the logic that you were using and which you thought was so profound.

And you discount the possibility of screwing up in the future, eh?
