Collective Intelligence: The beast with a billion hands.

One day the King suddenly bolted up and said:
"Everyone in prison should be forced to smile!"
And an aide replied: "Oh Sire, they do that already."
(But I don't think the old boy really got-it!)

 

The Antidote for all that is Serious: Comprehension.

 

Civil News To Light Your Fuse:
The attempt to do anything in the city is "jacking up a car."
And a thoughtful reader says:
"Just because some of your,
news features rhyme;
is no proof that they will,
stand the test of...of...hell!
What rhymes with 'rhyme'!?!"

 

 

Urban, Civilized History Continued:
In one city, any child who expresses an interest in entering the religious profession need not show any additional proof of intelligence.

 

Local Zoning Ordinance
Update & Addendum:
Institutions -- in "looking-after-themselves"
-- perforce -- look after you.
(And down front, on the Deacon's Bench all the cows went: "Moooo-o-o.")

While being "s t r e t c h e d to your limit" can be the basis of insanity with the ordinary, with a real thinker it can be the beginning of a new level of sanity & insight.

 

 

One man suddenly said to himself:
"Hey! -- I may be in a coma!"
And just as quickly shot back:
"Oh yeah!? How could you tell!?"

 

 

A Zoological Feature:
No one likes to "be alone"! ...just ask your mind.
(Comment: Hey, this was really more about thoughts than it was Zoology.)

 

 

And now for a perfectly despicable description of ordinary, Literary Progress & Achievement:
The civilized -- and acceptable --
riding-of-intellectual-coat-tails.

 

 

How You Can Tell -- And Why You Should Yell:
Hormones want to stay home -- neurons want to roam.
One man slapped his brain right upside its head and said:
"Wake up! -- It's all over! -- Let the kids go!"

 

 

To ordinary thinking --
how society works is how life works.

 

 

One man melted down all of his mottos, maxims, and slogans, and combined them into just one:
"Never use your right name."

Bet you didn't know that local reality itself has an unpublished maxim as regards human existence --
it goes like this:
"Born on a hill -- live on a hill,
born in a valley -- live in a valley."
(And it don't care much for smart-ass thinkers who want to be movin' around a lot.)
And -- Oh yeah! -- to continue being truthful wid-chu, that last part is bullshit, but that can be the way it sometimes seems to one trying to go from here-to-there -- plus it's neat in that it can afford one the opportunity to indulge in what can appear to be a bit of higher-class, intellectual martyrdom.

 

Okay -- in Swamp Parlance:
Ain't nobody on a real thinker's case -- 'cepting maybe him.
