WALKING ON THIN ICE

It’s gonna be hard to give up coffee because it’s such a pleasure, and then, there’s the energy.

‘Yeah, but it’s so labor intensive and expensive…’

That’s alright. You do all the work of making it.

‘No, you clean the pot.’

Yeah. In France, between each cup I had to take the pan out to the back yard and dispose of the grounds. I know; when we get rich I’ll hire poor people to do it for me. They’ll wait outside, I’ll ring a bell, they’ll come in, clean the pot, make the coffee, go back outside and wait.

Or, if I can’t see over something, I’ll ring the bell, they’ll come in, kneel on the ground, and I’ll climb up on their backs, look around, step down, and then they’ll go back outside.

If I have to change a light bulb, five or six of them will come in, kneel down, make a little step tiered platform. I’ll walk up ‘em. Change the light, step back down, send them back outside.

The steps fit my philosophy; I want to stop on the same people I step on on my way up, on my way back down. Plus, there’re a lot of poor people. There’s enough for everyone and there’s no union.

When I take a shit, I’ll ring the bell, and one will come in and wipe my ass.

‘You seem to have a thing about using other people.’

No, it’s just efficiency. Poor people need money. Plus, I’m getting tired of all this work. It’s need to need.

‘Has it occured to you that we’re more on the poor end of the scale?’

That’s why I can make fun of poor people. I can mock where I am or have been. Except for the rich. I ain’t been rich. But those bastards deserve mocking and flogging. In fact, they should be hunted, stuffed and mounted, and used for target practice.

‘Actually, the people I hate the most are the banks and the credit card companies.’

They’re the rich. I also despise their agents of theft: politicians, police, judges, the priests, the press. I can’t believe one of your readers defended Bill Gates.

‘Actually, the sign of our times is that we’ve internalized our oppression. People used to recognize wage slavery, social immobility for what it was — i.e., the mills — but now they think they deserve it.’

And the good the Bill Gates foundation does is way more negated by the foundation’s investing in the very agents of destruction that are destroying this planet. That asshole’s trying to have it both ways. He’s trying to revive the corpse he’s feeding off of.
