Of course I don't believe in God, Mother Nature I see as a
personification of the physical universe, which does exist even if she,
as a person, doesn't, and my society, which is all people certainly does
exist.
Your parents are members of society, as are taxpayers, and the government too.
The people in other countries probably made some of the food you ate,
some of the clothes you wore, etcetera. Of course we paid for it, but
then they paid us for whatever we sold them, it's called trade, it's an
element of society, and it's a good thing.
I mention this because I think you have this crazy idea that all other
countries are supported by our foreign aid. Your ilk always gets their
panties in a bunch over foreign aid which is a pimple on the ass of our
budget and a much teenier pimple on the ass of the rest of the world.
So what I am saying is that Beagles is not an island. I suppose you
could say you paid for everything you have, but without society you
wouldn't have anything to buy. You could hunt deer all year round, but
you would be doing it with a pointy rock on the end of a stick.
Probably not even that because the caveman learned how to do that from
his society.
And there we go with cannibalism again. I do declare you have a
fascination with that. And you seem to have an intimate knowledge of
their structure and moral codes. If I am ever on a long trip across the
frozen north, you can be sure that I will not be staying at the
Beaglesonia Bed and Breakfast, because I would rather eat than be
breakfast.
Oh I've told you, I like politics the way some people like sports, I
just like to see people playing the game. I'll watch the democratic
debates too, but not with such relish. I love to see what idiots the
people on the other side are, but I am not that fond of seeing what
idiots the people on my side are.
The old neighborhood looks good. The houses are kept up, the lawns are
mowed, everything is, well, tidy, the way I remember it growing up,
except that all the signs are in Spanish and when you nod to people they
say buenos dias. Elsdon is some kind of Ghanian Adventist Church,
Talmans is obliterated, Saint Gall is San Gall with a big image of Our
Lady of Guadeloupe on the front door. I went by the Lutheran Church on
61st where I used to be a boy scout, and there was a big line of people
waiting for a food pantry to hand out food. Last year there had been a
similar line outside St Gall. There was nothing like that when we were
kids, but I think blue collar people are worse off now than they were
then.
