Which Reminds Me

Yes, why is this continual yapping emanating from the Hollywood movie stars? What is that about? Well, it could have something to do with the money. What they have to do to get their money, selling their names and bodies on the public stage, most of us would not be willing to do. They imagine that everyone wants to be them, but actually many of us would prefer to avoid those Turkeys entirely. We might not want those Turkeys calling the shots.

Another theory is that it has something to do with the Foursquare leaders complaining about our distant cousins, who were of their membership, or at least their following, and of whom we know almost nothing, just that they are from the Bay Area, so we really don't know what their problem is. There are also some who theorize the existence of a fifth square but that is not a relevant topic of conversation for general consumption. Most people just wouldn't understand what you are talking about. Ask yourself: Who is my target audience?

Yet another theory has to do with the Transylvanian Vampire Colony, which goes on television continually to remind us that we are not related to them, even though we already knew that anyway, so we don't really need to be reminded that they have no obligation to transfer to us what belongs to their children. They seem to forget that we are not working for them anyway so we were not expecting a paycheck for the coal mining job that we declined to accept in the first place.

The Good Book says, "Muzzle not the oxen that treadeth out the grain," which means that the creatures may benefit from the overflow of our booming economy and royalty checks even when the benefits of land ownership belong to someone else. And what is land anyway to a pilgrim who is only passing through?
