I don’t want to do a sit-up, but I want abs like that guy on the 3-pack of underwear.
When galactic travelers discover the ruins of humanity on earth, they will determine the cause was not crime, cancer or crack. The Decline of Civilization will be an attitude: “Maxi-mum Results for Minimum Effort.”
Remote Control, Microwave Oven, Vibrator. All geared toward allowing us more time to do less. Look at liposuction. Diet? Exercise? Sacrifice? No! To lose cellulite, you just go visit Dr. Suckbutt. And it’s not just gadgets anymore. The “point and click” mentality has surfaced in relationships. Romances that start fast stop even faster. Dealings with people in general are like changing a TV channel. I stopped using dope in 1988. I’m not sure in what year I’ll be able to stop using people. I’m still one of the most selfish men I know. “Excuse me while I help myself to your help.”
Maximum results for minimum effort? Right in front of you: E-mail, internet, games. You never have to speak directly to humans ever again . . . You can have relationships with people you’ll never see or touch. It’s amazing that an invention can pull the world together and keep it apart at the same time. I’d like to say more, but my pager is beeping.
Keep pulling back,
Mark L.
