A SOCIETY OF SUBSTANCE

Apparently Eindhoven is now the third city in the Netherlands. Saw an advertisement for a performance for three dates in three cities; Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Eindhoven. Well, Eindhoven does have a technical university, physics research laboratory, and well-known modern art museum. But in my day it was still considered a rather provincial dead-end.
So I'm kind of chuffed. We're world class now.

The only other times Eindhoven gets listed, even if it is only an honourable mention, is when they publish the drug-usage rankings of European cities based on waste water chemical analyses. Eindhoven is always in the top ten. Amstedam, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Tilburg, and UTrecht are usually also there. We Dutch-speakers evidently pee unadulterated illicit substance break-down products. And we're often zotsed out of our gourds.
That, too, chuffs me. We're number one, we're number one!


We're still monumental cheapskates, though, so I have to wonder who is paying for all those drugs? Is it subsidized by the government? Part of a strategy by Brussels to make the other Europeans a little more competitive or keep us from always getting the better of them?
A plot by American Commies to sap our vital juices and our manhood?

That last explanation is believable.

I've always distrusted American Anglo monolinguals, because they always resent not being number one, are attention hogs, and have a propensity for cheating. For proof of that just look at their history for the last fifty or so years, and their current society and government.

Crippled as regards ethics, moralls, and taste.
Poor weasily buggers.
