Well, there is still much to be concerned about in America. Health care took a dump which means 45,000 people, about fifteen times the number of people who died in the World Trade Center will needlessly die this year. Oh, well. They’re just Americans. What else?
Oh, yeah. The Supreme Court legalized gargantuan people to donate gargantuan amounts of money to whatever they want done. Want a Puppy Murder Mill in America? Well, the fine folks from Puppy Murder Mill, Bulgaria will convince you that it is exactly what we need. Who would I be to argue? How do I know that murdering puppies by the thousands is a bad thing? Didn’t that dude cry on that commercial brought to you by the Puppy Murder Mill Council when that other dude Didn’t want to murder the puppy? Hey, who am I to say! I might just be a victim of old thinking. No, no, I’m all for it! Kill them puppies!
What else? I realized that the world works this way: Someone has a good idea for saving the world. The people he needs to help him, who matter most, are afraid of everything and simply say No to everything. So, we have people with good ideas and the stupid idiots who say no to them because they aren’t smart enough to say anything close to Yes. Which brings me to the subject of education. If the uneducated (in humanities, anyway) masses say no to everything there is no need for education. The number of educated will never outnumber the uneducated. The resounding echoes of No send paroxysms of fear through the population so that nothing can be done anyway and those years of getting education, especially humanities education, is really wasted because of it. The educated should get themselves beers and maybe a little grass and go find their island where they cannot hear the echoes. It is in this way that some of us may one day find any semblance of happiness.
