Mother's Day

Why? What for? The flower companies and the card companies make a killing. The rest of us get killed giving under pressure. A little bit of us dies every time we bend and truckle to mass suggestion and manipulation. Most people don't even know they are being worked on it is so subtle. (Well I don't think it is subtle but it is for them I suppose or they would see through it.)

Guilt is the motivator, played upon by the commercial bodies. In a free market system that is fine by me. As Mr Masters once said : "It's ok to sell dumb things to dumb people". Still, how dumb can you get? The implicit inference of Mother's Day is that we neglect our mothers the rest of the year so this is make-up time. Well, speak for yourself!

It seems like human beings need 'special days' to mark and observe because they are outwardly motivated. They cannot move and have their being except someone guides them and tells them when to go to the bathroom. I beleive sociologists refer to such people as 'other directed'.

We end up with a situation where the State directs our every move and monitors every human impulse. A machine has been created that actually reads people's thoughts. Bet Tony would like to get his hands on that.......
