Sociology Soup

This is something I have mentioned and pondered over before, still I am always struck by this. The titles of some of the other blogs. You literally have the full spectrum of humanity. Its fascinating. And at times alarming. I wish Carl Jung could have seen this. I would love to know his thoughts. I wouldn't mind Freud's feedback either, although you and I know he'd end up in some blog about "Bambi and her toys".

Its neat though. The Internet really is a clear mirror of society. Growing clearer every day. Yeppur, Alice has taken her pill, Dorothy has clicked her heels and were off on a technological world wind. Millions of Microscopic Societal dots (humans), myself included; all screaming "I'm significant" That's a quote I stole from Calvin and Hobbes, another great microcosmic mirror of earth.

My question is this: Have humans always been so freakin weird? When Ward and June turned the lights off, after the Beaver and Wally were safely tucked in bed, did they snore off to sleep? Or did June open the "special drawer" with lubricant and a spatula?

I guess biblically it all starts and ends with man. and of course fruit. According to the bible. We bit the fruit and that was it. June sayith unto Ward, "low get thee to bed, and I shalt commence with lubricant and thy spatula".

So the bible says we have always been pretty ducked up. Furthering its point that we have been ducked up to such an extreme that we'll it rained so hard it was pretty much Noah and some ducks (walk into bar...... sorry couldn't pass it up. I am who I am. or as the bible says "I am". ).

So is the computer a really bad apple? Or is it just proof of the power of fruit? Interesting stuff. At least to me. As I sit here with a brief moment in a world of brief moments strung together frailly on the twine that is my life.

So I'll leave you with this thought only to further cloud the soup. Robin Williams, while doing a comedy bit noted that it wasn't so much scary that man contracted AIDS from copulating with a monkey; rather that it was more frightening to think that right now somewhere on a farm there's a guy going, "here chicky chicky"
