"...Barsoom"



Now that I've had all four covid booster shots.
I'm packing up my bags and going the bleep back to Mars.
It's dusty, but there's no wars or plagues, and the root beer is good.
It's the little things.

  1. Modern “education” imposed upon traditional cultures (e.g. Gaelic, Indian, Polynesian, American Indian) is only less deliberately, not less actually, destructive than the Nazi destruction of Polish libraries, which was intended to wipe out their racial memories; the Germans acted consciously, but we who Anglicize or Americanize or Frenchify are driven by a rancor that we do not recognize and could not confess. This rancor is, in fact, our reaction to a superiority that we resent and therefore would like to destroy.
