They wanted to know what we should do about paying back every people that has been ripped off, exploited, incarcerated, massacred or otherwise treated poorly by another people over the course of the last 200 years. At first, I thought the issue was a bit silly. And so I wondered what it all had to do with me. I realized I was wrong.
Reparations are good.
So good, in fact, that I decided to hop on the reparations bandwagon myself and make my own bid to get a nice fat slice of reparations pie. They attended a church that was constantly trying to predict the exact date and time of the coming of Armageddon. The overseers of our cult divided 144,000 by the number of books in the Bible, multiplied that by the number of Apostles, subtracted principal, interest, property taxes and insurance, squared that number by 666, then held the result up to a mirror and read the number backwards. Now, I say three cheers for religious freedom. I had no more than a few months to live.
