"I remember when, is the lowest for of conversation"...Tony Soprano

 

When I was little I stayed with my grandparents for two weeks so my parents could take a vacation to Florida. They lived in another town about 45 minutes away. That doesn't sound all that exciting, but there was an article in the local paper about it. I still have the newspaper clipping.

 

When I was six years old my father took his family to the farm where he grew up for his parent's golden wedding anniversary. When I saw my aunt kill a chicken for dinner I became very upset, so whenever she did that again Dad took me into the barn so I would not see it.

 

Not spelling then?

 

I wanted to tell my aunt to stop doing that, but I did not. I decided that when I grew up I would invent meat substitutes, so people would not kill animals any more. I have always felt guilty about having animals killed for my food. My diet is primarily, although not exclusively vegetarian.

George Bernard Shaw was a vegetarian. He said that when he died he wanted his funeral procession to be followed by flocks of birds, herds of mammals, and aquariums of fish that were still alive because they were not killed on his behalf.

 

So, here's how it works.
Some loser applies for a job at your company. He's got face tattoos, pins, hasn't bathed in weeks, hasn't changed clothes since the Bush administration, is clearly using some kind of reality altering chemicals, and is 30 minutes late for the interview. During the interview he announces that he won't be available for a month yet, cause, you know, it's summer. And, so happens he's 1% native Indian, although that doesn't come up in the interview.

After the interview, a very presentable young woman has her interview. She has all the qualifications you are looking for, all the experience, and can start now.

You hire the woman, the man sues claiming racial, sexual, or whatever discrimination.
You reply no, I hired the best candidate, and when his attorney challenges you on that, you end up saying well, I had a feeling about the young woman. And, your man has tattoos and facial pins (you are instantly demonized), clearly hadn't bathed in weeks or changed clothes (well, but he's homeless cause no one will hire him you greedy fat cat capitalist pig!!) was clearly using chemicals of some kind (how do you know, did you test him or are you a drug genius?) And he was late (not his fault, he has to rely on unreliable public transport) and couldn't start until fall (And why is that a problem? Is making money more important than this young mans future, you greedy fat cat capitalist motherfucker!)

You lose.​

 

I cant remember the last time I saw a goo0d snowball fight! Our Public grammar school was alongside a parochial school. Kids always played with each other, no problems, but come the first snow, we'd have the biggest snowball fights. Every now and then you'd see half a dozen people on each side having snowball fights.
