You're all on crack.
Potential energy is where it's at. Gimme some height anyday and I'll show you how pretty it all is from up here... what else in this fair world gives you more and more props the higher you get?
Come to think of it - maybe you're not all on crack, but you should be.
Come soar the clouds with me and I'll show you divinity. It's only when you start to plummet that you have to worry about all that silly kinetic stuff.
And to be honest, who really wants to come down when it's this good?
