As well as books, music, internet message boards and other distractions we all too often rationalize as being superior in every way to that which we personally find distasteful or wasteful.
Unfortunately, as I can both program my remote and name and locate eighty-eight constellations, I'll resign myself to a lower level on the evolutionary scale. Denied by a lack of pretense, I'll simply wallow in the self-realization that I am no better, and little worse than anyone else, as opposed to those who stand tall enough to look down on anyone not sharing the same ideology.
A little family, a little love, a little laughter and a little wine will be my mournful recourse in this sad life, as the much-more evolved among us tell us (tirelessly, righteously and all the moral absolutism mere humanity can muster) how incredibly vapid I truly am for not marching to the tune they want to entertain us with-- be that corporations, or merely posters on the internet.
