LIKE THE EXAMPLE OF GANDHI

The way things are going in this country it looks increasingly likely that people will be using Molotovs, bricks, and baseball bats, for peaceful demonstrations by early summer. Comrade Krasnov may find that his goons are not the captains America they think they are. But I shall NOT be protesting. In fact, I shall endeavor to be far distant from events. For several reasons.
I am first and foremost a man of peace, a veritable Mahatma Gandhi, and I already know how to manufacture salt at the seashore. Also, the circulation in my legs is that bloody poor that I couldn't possibly run around the downtown screaming. Lastly, I really don't care if the flyovers can't buy eggs, can't sell their excess corn, can't get necessary treatment or social services, don't get vaccinations or real science based medical advice, and are filled with unemployed people who are Trump lifers but lost their federal jobs anyway.

Also, by that time bird flu will probably be circulating among the general populace.
Plus I just don't trust my fellow humans worth spit. I've seen what they're like.

[There is also HKU5-CoV-2, but that's scheduled for Autumn.]


I shall probably be in a quiet area smoking my pipe, contemplating the writtings of Heidegger and Witgenstein, and considering having a nice cup of HK milk tea later.
Heidegger and Witgenstein were foreigners.
You know, those people.

Far be it from me to discourage other folks, however. If they think that burning everything down is the right thing to do under the circumstances, well good for them! Their perspectives are different, they aren't veritable Mahatma Ghandis, and they should get in touch with their feelings. Incendiary devices can be either artistic expression, or free speech.
Om mane padme om. Peace, love, and butterflies.

Community bonfires may be just what we need. And there's so very much that is combustibe. Why, I can think of any number of targets, and find the use of gelling agents and phosphorus in gasoline a fascinating subject. They ought to teach classes about that in school! Along with punji sticks and bear traps. I applaud the creativity and inventivity of my fellow Americans (for peaceful purposes). Again, I mention butterflies. And wildflowers!

Americans are a scientifically curious lot. When faced with, purely hypothetically of course, the question "can down this shitcan burn?" they will naturally exclaim "let's find out!"
While swilling a Coors.

In Spring, young men's fancies turn to intellectual pursuits.


Warmth, love, and kindness, will prevail.


I am strongly in favour of freedoms, love, and butterflies!

Please remember that as previously mentioned I am a peaceful man.
Indeed, a veritable friggin' Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.
Just bucketloads better smelling than he was.
Dirty old man in a bedsheet.
