Enemata: the injection of liquid into the rectum and colon by way of the anus. Why is it that “anus” make me think of CNN, ABC, CBS, MSN, and the rest of the Fake News outlets. I guess it’s what comes out of the anus that’s so disgusting. They are the Sewer of the Swamp.

“cynical about society” = anti social
“Anti social” means reclusive. “Cynical about society” is different from that.

The word “society” has been so thoroughly and systematically abused by socialists that it’s hard for people to think straight.

SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins.
Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness;

the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices.

The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions.

The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one . . .
For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest . . . — Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)
In modern parlance, society is often referred to as “the market.”
