Why is "society" a dirty word?

No. My problem too. Their use of the term shapes its meaning. They make a legitimate word unusable.

i agree, your right.

You can go to the left or you can go to your right.

:laughing:

Over there they’re their own idiots.

And you’re on your own.

I read the following excerpt in a book written by George Sand in 1832 … change the word “palaces” to “corporations” and what has changed???

" … there is a lack of hands to work the land but every profession has a host of aspirants; where human beings, hideously massed together around palaces, crawl and lick the footprints of the rich; where enormous capital, accumulated in accordance with the laws of social wealth … in a few men’s hands, is the prize in a never ending lottery of avarice, immorality, and ineptness … in this country of lewdness and misery, of vice and desolation, in this civilization, rotten to its very roots, you want me to be a loyal citizen? You want me sacrifice my will, desires, imagination to its needs, being either its dupe or its victim, so the penny I might toss to a beggar will end up in a millionaire’s coffers?"

Some say a picture is worth a 1,000 words … try to imagine this picture …

A large flock of sheeping moving along at a rapid pace …

Careful observation will confirm that almost all of the sheep can only see the asshole in front of them … this I know from personal experience :slight_smile:

worse still …

Almost all the sheep have no choice but keep their nose glued to the asshole in front of them.

The parallels between a flock of sheep wandering around and human societal behaviour is astounding … Augustine of Hippo wrote 1,600 years ago … “You torrent of human custom! Who can stand against you?” Seems to me he was observing the same “parallels” ???
