I wonder if I should start referring to myself as Emperor Huck, at least when people aren't around. My loyal subjects can be the billions of cells in my body and my huge tracts of land can be the square millimetres underneath my feet (or whatever body part is currently encountering the ground). Of course, there will be times when my people become displaced; like when I jump in the air or if I fly in an airplane... but I should be able to conquer a patch of land again fairly easily.
I think being an emperor will be good for my ego, which sometimes needs a padding. I like the thought of all those tiny life-forms working together to support my empire. I'll try to be a benevolent ruler; providing my subjects with a secure environment, stable economy and sufficient entertainment. Then there's the question of what to call my ephemeral domain...

These thoughts spawned from a report on an act of racism on public transport.

I know that while I am able to differentiate between the 'races' there will continue to be an undercurrent of racism that I won't be able to fully expunge from my brain. Asian, African, Caucasian, Aboriginal, American... each word conjures up its own images, its own weighted impressions full of opinion and fragmented experience, subtle value judgements flavouring each 'race' or 'nationality' as a result of my limited memory structures. My personality has been fed by years of localised parochial perspectives, media and opinion that has attempted to teach me to accept racial traits as being limiting and universal. Some of that persists. I try to remove these preconceptions when they become conscious thoughts but it is difficult to quantify to what extent bigotry sleeps in my subconscious
.
I will endevour to perceive all my fellow humans as neighbouring Empires, each with their own miniature host of subjects. I think this might help.
