Those
who take civilization seriously
are civilized!
Those who take civilization seriously are….are….well,
they’re probably too far gone to say much to.
The
ordinary hold some things sacred
so’s they won’t have so many things to hold fearfully
.
People who don’t like you will let you give them advice.
Some Solid Instructions
From The Secret War College’s Training Manual:
It doesn’t do any good to kill a man ---- if you’re just going
to dig him right back up and keep on thinking about him.
One reputed thinker allegedly told his son:
“Never tell ordinary people what you like
or don’t like, or else they might take you for one of them.”
(Supposedly, the old man and the kid both shuddered at the thought.)
A fresh feature from the fascinating World
of Engineering:
When it comes to “thinking,” one local expert says the most
important thing is the matter of proper “drainage.”
In addition to his car keys, in his pocket one man would only carry the
words, “chance, fresh, opportunity, &
adventure.”
Tip: Blood makes a good glue.
So as not to appear dumb when they get grown, most adults will announce
that they’re not dumb.
Those who can see a distinct line of demarcation between hormones and neurons
--- are hallucinating……(in a civilized, even religious fashion
perhaps, but hallucinating just the same.)
One man describes his progress thus far like this:
“I’ve gone from not reading the daily paper,
to not reading the weekly news magazines,
to not reading history itself!
Who knows what greater triumphs may lie ahead!”
“Say – wanna play 20 Questions?”
“Sure – as long as it’s not over two or three questions.”
“Ok,
try this one: What is the difference between a real thinker’s mind
and an ordinary one?”
“Oh,
I got that one. The answer is: What’s the difference between a fun
trip and a bus station?!”
As
they gazed out at the ever-expanding out, a man said to his child, “If
you go off to the city, there’re just two things I hope: you don’t
take-up-with-cows, and come back home a dope.”
They kinda bobbed their heads in agreement --- both understanding that a
“hope” is just that --- simply a desire.
The dumb seem to think that dumb things are funny --- and I guess that’s
fair.
Civilization
Revisited!
(Like, Where Else You Gonna Go!?):
Without criticism, there are no hobbies or pastimes.
Regarding Matters Apparently
Mys-Tie-Cal:
On the “Day of Judgment” the ordinary will discover that the
day of judgment has long ago already passed.
The
“social restraints” of the collective are -- at heart --
un-social.
And
now over to our Weather
Desk:
It’s rainy and cloudy somewhere ---
and someone is bitching about it.
