Human Monsters?

Human Monsters: the various traits of monsters that I have shared and will continue to share, are riffs (variations or improvisations), if you will, on the psychopathic personality. However, when these traits are present and put to use by those, who exercise power over others, whether in corporations, cities, states, nations, the world, is when true monsters are hatched. The evidence of this past and present is everywhere to be found and quite undeniable. Got monsters? You bet. See monsters throw Dick and Jane down the hill, without pay. UNITED STATES OF MAMMON

MONSTER TRAIT No. 17

MONSTER TRAIT No. 17: Monsters are so entirely devoid of remorse or guilt, that if one were to ask a monster, after it had committed a particularly terrible crime (say killing half a million children), what it felt, the monster would say: "And I'd do it again faster'n a bullfrog's tongue could slap a horsefly sitting on its momma’s toadstool."

An Ice Free Planet?

Here’s an experiment. You’ll need two pots of the same size and a timer or good old-fashioned watch. Take one of the pots, fill it with water, and put it in the freezer overnight. The following day take the second pot and fill it with an equal amount of water. Place both pots on the stove and apply heat to the pots at the same temperature setting. Record the time it takes each pot to reach a boil. Now imagine an ice-free planet in the throes of global warming. Got soup? UNITED STATES OF MAMMON, Chapter V.

UNITED STATES OF MAMMON, Chapter III - excerpt

Here’s a hypothetical situation (sort of). You’ve come down with a fever and over-the-counter drugs are not working. The prescription drug that your doctor gave you is not working either. You decide it’s time to go to the hospital, despite your $500,000 deductible. Your forms filled out in sixtuplicate and your wallet and pockets drained of anything resembling currency, for the $800 copay, you sit. You sit for four hours in a dull, grey, deathly quiet, standing room only, waiting room, before a single person moves. This movement jolts you and the other three hundred, comatose sufferers to consciousness. In short order, however, catatonia returns and row after row of sufferers find stillness and waking death. Four hours later, it’s your turn. A nurse, tired, bloodshot eyes, and all the earmarks of a serious drug problem, escorts you down the hallway. She says something that you either didn’t catch or found completely beyond your comprehension. You’re not sure. So you ask, “What did you just say?” In an undisturbed stride, looking straight ahead, and in a deadpan voice, she says, “Only one percent of the people that ever enter our hospital come out alive.” You freeze, the blood drains from your face, you quickly ponder your current predicament and which way to run.

What if your nation’s economic system was based upon similar percentages, would that work for you? What would you do, if only one percent of the citizens that engaged in your nation’s reigning economic paradigm prospered or lived very well, while all others perished immediately of terminal destitution or slowly from the financial-wasting-away disease?

MONSTER TRAIT No. 5

MONSTER TRAIT No. 5: Monsters love Ad Hominem attacks. Monsters love ad hominem attacks for two reasons really - one, it makes them feel good about themselves, and two, it can beautifully deflect the truth or the message that another is attempting to make.

MONSTER TRAIT No. 7

MONSTER TRAIT No. 7: Monsters hate being seen. They hate being seen for what they truly are and will go apoplectic (get greatly excited or angered) when discovered. They are also much inclined to revisit their adolescence by throwing temper tantrums, turning violent or making horrible faces. Lastly, monsters have been known to invoke the brazenly bizarre, such as stating that they were doing God's work, while impoverishing or destroying millions.

Please answer in the form of a question

Please answer in the form of a question. There are 10 sextillion stars in it and 50 sextillion planets (21 zeroes!), which if counted sequentially would take a person 317 trillion years to count the stars and over 1.5 quadrillion years to count the planets. Yet there are those who think it completely devoid of life. UNITED STATES OF MAMMON, Chapter III

MONSTER TRAIT No. 2

MONSTER TRAIT No. 2: Monsters lie. Monsters lie as naturally as breathing and also a lot more often. Monster lie when there is no reason for lying. And they lie monstrously, when important things are in their reach or may come into their reach as a result of grand and oft repeated lies.
