Social progress and altruism can be a slippery fish when they come up against the perception of threatened survival. Economic and security insecurities (SIS)TM can and have reversed decades of social progress very quickly. This is only natural. When the rules suddenly change, via climate change, resource depletion, asteroid impact, whatever, the ants in the ant farm get flustered. Today, the conservative ants are having trouble admitting to themselves that the rules are changing, so they cling to the perceived safety of cults, a past that never was, and simplistic, placebo maxims. Americans have proven themselves to be no less herd-like than any other national brand. This country has one of the strongest undercurrents of fascism in the world; a fertile movement in troubled times, and, unlike other similar societies, we've got the guns to make something really bad happen. I can happen here. Stay tuned.

j_b advocates sexless female friendship. They even want to take that small pleasure away from me, now.

When I'm 64, indeed. Pointless.

About all I"m good at is to sweep my broken dreams up into yet another repetitive string of dying flowers, clouds, and forced smiles.

Now I'm not actually telling you that, cuz I'm not very good at my job, here.

I have it on good authority that I'm supposed to tell you to STFU.

Try drugging them.

Well, I"m off to an artificial indoor lake heated by a long dead swamp that comes from a country that hates us to move through the water even though I'm a land animal in a most likely futile attempt to die from trauma rather than waste away in a hospital until someone finally pulls the plug out of disgust in the guise of mercy. Later.

I like to get sex out of the way pretty much as soon as I can, with the option to revisit the subject as often as possible.

There is a point to everything any time you want there to be one. Life is convenient that way.

Men and Women. Case closed.

Don't do it.

Rent the video Abs of Urd. It's all explained.

A universe that destroys everything it builds, including itself. Pointless. The very definition of absurd.

You are too down on Earth to find the existing absurdities.

Given the near total absurdity of existence, I'm not sure we have the option of taking anything seriously.

I will fuck you up, shit you not and stare you down, clown.

My shitz gotta an autofunk setting, and it resets every time I breath the color blue.

For the record, I'm a card carrying member of a whole lotta shit goin down.

I like Xena.

I'm not sure Ivan subscribes to any identifiable brand of Earth politics, but he's good for free smokes, so as long as the rest of his species stays on their home world, I'm OK with it.

Stay in skoo, foo.

And FW's a progressive, no?

You're saying that you're not right wing? Did I just read that correctly? Anyone? A little help here....
