You probably think you're
so smart. That you know
*******
EVERYTHING
*******
And what you don't know ain't worth knowing.
You probably think you "own" the atoms in your body.
You didn't believe Rousseau when he told you that
PROPERTY IS THEFT!
It all harks back to the same false male/aggressive dogma
purported in Genesis (1:28),
the logic being that "man" owns the planet and
*******
EVERYTHING
*******
on it.
Yeah, right.
Like any omniscient being would leave a bunch of murderous thieves
in charge of anything.
Now, by extension, we "own" all of outer space.
At least until someone or something stronger than us says,
NO!
And, of course, that means we can
DISPOSE
of it as we see fit, like some half-assed, scurvy horde of
Buck Rogers conquistadors.
What a pathetic notion.
We destroy everything we touch.
We'll be lucky to deepfreeze the DNA of half the large land mammals
before they're all extinct.
Much less take anything of value with us off the planet.
We'll be refugees with nothing but the shirts on our backs
and the doorknob to the outhouse.
The giant space ship we build to haul our sorry asses
out of the pile of shit we've created
will be so inefficient
that we'll have to blow up Jupiter for fuel.
And after we foul this solar system
We'll just find ourselves another
and another
and another...
until we've trashed the whole galaxy.
The universe.
Why not?
Its ours.
