Radar - I attacked nothing, I just noted where the sources used to support your OPINION were from.

That's the stupidest thing you've said: but your buddies find it funny so maybe I'm missing something.

I apologize if I have offended you on some weird religious level, but the fact is that the "government" is a social fiction. So is "America". So is the "money" you humans worship. Neither one is real, but humans run around dying for both, each and every day.

It would be sad, if it wasn't so funny.

I prefer to 'do'.

They are not mutually exclusive concepts. I think the miscommunication here is that you wish to help the humans, and I do not. Humans are best left to their own devices, as they tend to kill anyone who tries to help them (Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, etc).

So while we both agree that action is desirable, I prefer to increase the general level of laughs. Well, I mean laughs for me.

After all, LMNO's Dictum always applies: The imposition of order creates a corresponding and greater level of disorder.

"...you wish to help the humans..."

HA!

Where did you get that idea?

There are folks whom I love (a small number)...for them: everything.

There are folks who are strangers (most folks)...for them: certain things, as I choose, depending on circumstance.

There are folks who are my enemies (a small number)...for them: nothing, or, the knife.

You claim to hate humanity. A waste of a valuable resource...

#

"Humans are best left to their own devices"

Yep.

#

"...action is desirable..."

My action for myself and for those whom I choose to involve myself with.

#

"I prefer to increase the general level of laughs"

As you like...as you will.

I've just noticed how much that one Monkee on the left looks like a skinny Jack Black.

They should totally make a modern Monkees movie. Clockwise from the top: Edward Norton, Matthew McConaughy, Toby Maguire, Jack Black.

Why not, they've made a fuckin' movie out of every single other cultural note from the time. Except for the Monkees, Lidsville, and the fuckin' Hell's Angels at Altamont, they've covered every single other baby boomer fuckin' icon from 1965-1979. Fuckin'

Not a movie per say, but they covered that in the Gimme Shelter dvd, circa 2000.
