"A Misanthropic Monster Speaks"
|

||
Watched T.V., lately?
|
||
IT has. IT has been watching some pretty interesting stuff. Talk
|
||
shows, game shows, "soaps." Interesting shows, if you like to explore
|
||
the human mind, as IT does.
|
||
Somewhere, for some reason, there is a burning contraversy over flesh.
|
||
How much do we have, and how much can we show. Talk shows seem to like
|
||
this topic. IT would suppose that's because such contraversy gives
|
||
them a chance to show scantily clad females run around their monitors.
|
||
Strange, IT remembers talk about something called decency. About
|
||
talk of how scandalous it was for a woman to show someone her ankles.
|
||
And, when IT remembers such talk, IT can sympathize with those who find
|
||
it so horrendous.
|
||
But IT also remembers classes about things like freedom of expression,
|
||
speech, religion. Isn't it a shame that our "founding fathers" never
|
||
put in an amendment about dress? About the rights we have pertaining to
|
||
our bodies?
|
||
|
||
Wasn't there something somewhere about liberty? IT forgets. Perhaps
|
||
IT should bring that up to someone, a new amendment saying we have the
|
||
right to use our bodies. That would certainly end a lot of contraversy,
|
||
wouldn't it: abortion, thongs, drugs, homosexuality.
|
||
Wait a minute! What is IT thinking? If our founding fathers didn't
|
||
say anything about it THEN, obviously we don't have the right to do so NOW.
|
||
No wonder IT is such a monster...
|
||
|
||
But this is all far from the topic IT wished to write about (or is
|
||
it?).
|
||
|
||
It is too clich‚d to say that the only reason talk shows address
|
||
such issues as socially-acceptable apparel is to show off women in
|
||
bikinis. IT would prefer to think more... sociologically. Sure,
|
||
the talk shows show it. Showing it is their job, if we want to watch it.
|
||
|
||
And that leads IT to an interesting question. Freud (god rest his
|
||
theories), believed that there is a strong conflict between what people
|
||
think and what people say: The Id-Superego clash. In this theory, he
|
||
supposes that a man spending his life denouncing nude sculptures as trash
|
||
will put himself on a commitee to review pornography for possible banning;
|
||
thereby satisfying both the good-samaritan aspects of what he says, and
|
||
yet still let him get hold of "nudie magazines" to satisfy what he needs.
|
||
Society disapproves of nudity and near-nudity. They'll watch talk show
|
||
after talk show about it, just to condemn these people they've never
|
||
listened to as trash.
|
||
|
||
Is that so different from the man who reviews pornography for banning?
|
||
Are WE so much better than him? IT truly wonders...
|
||
|
||
This is the end of IT's article. This loathesome reptilian creature
|
||
is too base to offer you any insight into a possible solution. IT won't
|
||
give you any easy, three-step answer. IT won't even tell you if this is
|
||
a real problem IT is giving you. There are many problems in the world
|
||
today, and IT really doesn't see any ONE of them being solved. IT can't
|
||
really foresee anyone showing enough chutzpah to do anything that might,
|
||
god forbid, help the world. Help the WHOLE world.
|
||
|
||
Anger and hatred are integral parts of humanity, aren't they? Humans
|
||
find it somehow COMFORTING to dislike others. A young child once asked
|
||
IT why there were different colors for people. Knowing the kid was a
|
||
religious little brat, IT told him, "Because God loves everybody. And
|
||
since most people want to hate someone, God thought he might do something
|
||
to make finding excuses for hate easier."
|
||
|
||
Perhaps now you understand why IT considers itself such a monster.
