I only wish it wasn't this way. Nobody asked, but I'm gonna say it anyway - (looks around to make sure no spies are listening) - my favorite book is "Lost Horizon." Yeeee heee there I said it. YES, YES I'm A PACIFIST and even more alarming, I'd rather live in a peaceful and friendly world than a war torn one. (I know how insane that sounds but it's true).
A proportionally miniscule group of people have figured out how to get into positions of power and structure society so that they stay in power and get to exploit everyone else.
that karl marx dude wrote a very nice book explaining how it works, for which the rich people have detested him ever since
Meh, civil war schmivel war. Until then we can still get drunk off our asses and accuse each other of being commie pinko liberal camel-f#ckers. I mean what's the point of life otherwise. Also, as a pinko liberal camel-f#cker, I know a warm place I can hide in if war breaks out. (Ummm you can use your imagination).
Good plan. If you know the world is collapsing, go drink in the world as much as you can until it happens. In the novel "Forge of God," when one character learns the earth IS going to be destroyed, he simply drives to a national park and camps out there, waiting for the end. That's how I'd like to live my last days. Maybe the world will end in fire, maybe ice - but either way I want to have absorbed the beauty of it as much as possible.
It wouldn't be if you were in camel's a$$hole - unless that camel had been cold awhile also. And if I'm already in there, it might get a little crowded.
