The News From Poughkeepsie - Day 25

General Stuff Fridays:

I’ve speculated what the police/army would do if the world became a lot more peaceful. And I just realized it. They would form militias to cover the “*police” terms we come up with. Grammar police, thought police, chocolate police, if something needs to be regulated and protected, these people will protect it. We would move toward a police state, with grocers being dragged into the street and beaten for advertising “Fresh Tomato’s!”

And we thought world peace would be a good thing. How wrong we were.

  2. People will always have things to fight about. It’s part of human nature. “War” is just institutionalized, sanctioned, organized murder.
