You know these days it would not surprise me. Still she was looking out for me. She knows the laws, and how they are used. Nothing I post or have done violates it.
However it does give rise to interest. That's what she's concerned about. They watch, and wait as she sez. They'll even wait for years if you're on the list. Well I always assumed I was. I mean given our time.
Still all this breaks my heart. I am so weary of it. Which is the point it's what they want you to feel.
"They watch, and wait as she sez. They'll even wait for years if you're on the list."
I'm afraid I'm to the point where this fills me with a perverse gratification at the confirmation of my conviction that our fellow humans are contemptible shitheads.
Long ago I told a friend about an article I had read. He was considerably older and more experienced than I. The article told how a certain class of young hipsters were traveling down to Mexico from San Francisco to fulfill their epistemological fantasies by having themselves lobotomized. For real. My friend said that he not only believed it, but that he WANTED to believe it. It was a confirmation of his worldview, concerning how insanely fucked up people are. That's pretty much where I am now. Why would I want to be accepted by lunatics who have drunk the Koolaid?
My suspicion at this point is that as a species we will never evolve. When the chips are down we will always revert to the standard model, which in our case is the behavior of common chimps, our closest relatives. If we evolve at all, it will be as individuals. I'm guessing that can only happen through reincarnation, if at all. I don't think we're capable of making a complex, advanced society that makes most of its members happy, at least not for very long.
A hundred million years from now, our species and everything it ever did will be a thin layer in the fossil record. Will that be a tragedy? Not at all.
Maybe your family lawyer will send you an email telling you to take down this image since it is too suggestive?

I'm sorry you've had this awful experience.
