I only made it half-way through the article, but I never did catch the Forrest Gump reference. In what way exactly are we all like Forrest Gump, and is that a good thing or a bad thing?
For example: was the tasered truck driver a Forrest Gump, or were the cops Forrest Gumps, or does reading about it make us a Forrest Gump, or is it something about our reaction to reading about it that makes us a Forrest Gump?
Oh, wait, I get it. I don't understand the article because I'm stupid.
You know it's good writing when you can't understand it (thus proving that the author is much smarter than you.)
