Okay, this is very easy to understand. It's like this: There are two kinds of people in the world: us, and them. what you want is to be one of us. You don't want to be one of them. You don't want to get mixed up with them. You don't want to get in bed with one of them. you don't want to get in bed with all of them at the same time, at least not when one of us might be watching. You want to affiliate with us, because we are your friends; where they are your enemies. It is they who are out to get you. They always have something up their sleeves. They will always stab you in the back if you give them half a chance. You know who and how they are. You know how to spot them on the street. They are evil and crafty. They are constantly trying to get us. That's why we have to get them first, because if we don't get them, they will get us first. All are problems are caused by them. If we just got rid of them wouldn't everything be alright? If we got rid of them, then we wouldn't have any problems. We are superior to them (like the queen Cynthargis) And, of course, they are inferior to us. We all know that they shouldn't even exist. Everybody knows that They shouldn't even exist. Nobody knows where they came from. Why, they are like cockroaches, to be exterminated. We have to reproduce ourselves faster than they can, so that we can wipe them out, so that we can take over the world. they are scum. We don't need scum like them around. I hate them, don't you? Everybody hates them. They are so repulsive and disgusting! You know who they are. You can tell them from 3 millimeters away! And you can smell them from 6! Lately they are trying something new. Some of them are disguising themselves to seem like us, so that they can spy on us without us noticing they are actually them. They want thus to trick us. But they will not succeed because we are smarter than they are. And with our intelligence and superior breeding, we can destroy them. And catch those miserable creatures in our traps and eat them raw with hot picante sauce. We have to infiltrate them, make them think that we are them instead of us, so they (of them) can inform on us' )one of them). We can even make them think that one of them is really one of us pretending to be working of us when in reality they are working against us by pretending to be one of us while in reality us are pretending to be us working for them disguised as them pretending to be us while actually they are one of us disguised as us pretending ... ... so, who am us anyway. Is we one of they are is then one of us or maybe we is part of them or maybe ... ... O dear, O dear, I'm so confused? ... The whole world is spinning! ... Why that's lucky for us Nancy. If it were flat, all the Chinese would fall off ... If you push something hard enough, it will fall over---- Sir Sydney Fud It seems truly tragic that, since modern sapiens first appeared on Earth fifty thousand years ago, the broad mass of humanity has still not progressed beyond the ancient and primitive 'us versus them" mind set. Maybe it will take another fifty thousand ... |
