Well, I think your condensed version was a brilliant analysis. Of course it may be difficult for some to acknowkedge the truth of what you have written: it's a hard thing to realize that one is a kept being.

But your allegory is a perfect expression of the bare-bones construct of socialist, planned society. The first thing that came to my mind when I read it was Jocelyn Elders testifying that we had to ensure the sexual health of the next generation because they would be paying her social security.

All this has been done with the best of intentions, yes; but the expression of these ideas is motivated by the acceptance of the notion that a superior human may own, in full or in part, another human or number of humans: pure hubris and evil.

I thank you for the rich tidbit of insightful knowledge, and look forward to scanning the threads for more.

Thank you for the encouraging words, dasboot.

Your point,

"All this has been done with the best of intentions, yes; but the expression of these ideas is motivated by the acceptance of the notion that a superior human may own, in full or in part, another human or number of humans: pure hubris and evil. "

Slick as well as evil. Sems like the Civil War was fought in vain. Now we all live on the plantation.
