FUN IN THE SUM

I'm no big fan of math as a rule. I don't hate it either, but sitting around and reciting formulas or remembering calculations is not my idea of how to enjoy an evening.

What I do enjoy is the simple equations of give me all you got and then sum. Yep, when you translate numbers into good old fashion, back stabbing me first and you not at all greed, I'm more than happy to do some counting.

I do appreciate how some people might not look upon that kind of math as noble or admirable. Those are probably the ordinary and decent hard working types. They are ones that are basically honest and seldom if ever try to cheat anyone.

All I can say to them is what kind of sick degenerate mind are you anyway? Such people are a menace to us leeches and con men. They can't be trusted to cheat and lie like any normal slime ball.

Such people are a menace to real society. Yep, they just can't be trusted to get with the program.

See the way I figure it such individuals are the ones responsible for higher taxes for things like military spending and law enforcement. I know that sounds bizarre, but I want you to think about it.

It is because of the peaceful, law abiding and honest folks that things get complicated. See if everyone was guilty then the police could save all kinds of time. Whenever they heard about a crime they could just go and pick somebody out at random and shoot them full of holes.

If everyone was guilty to start with who would care about things like civil rights and speedy trials. It would be shoot first, last and a letter of warning to the survivors warning them to behave or they would be next.

But since there are a few innocent people out there we have to go to all the trouble to make sure they don't get accidentally hurt. Now if they would just get with the program and start being lying crooks like the rest of us, then it would sure makes things easier.

The same would be true for the military. Right now we still operate under the presumption that not even one is plotting to overthrow the government or attack other people.

So just for that rare peaceful county we have to tread softly. Now it they were all sneaky rats it would be so much easier.

Drop a few nukes, have some coffee by the warm glow of vaporized cities and you go the kind of peace that really does last. But again we do live in a crazy world. Just at times it doesn't seem crazy enough to really make like simple.
