Ho Hum.
My, my, amt it funny how
things can get so scrambled up
on a perfectly nice old world?
Of course we, personally, think
that everybody is a little crazy
its just a matter of degree.
But of all the animals on earth,
the human animal is, we think,
the craziest. We spend billions
of dollars to build the world
up-or so we think-and then
turn around and spend billions
to tear it all to hell. We think
that we are very important in
the scheme of things when as
a matter of fact we are nothing
but just a little more scenery.
The jungles of South America
and the sands of Africa have
covered up and obGterated tenn
Piles and tombs and other play
things of the human animal
who evidently lived thousands
of years ago. We go around with
a bomb in one hand and a Red
Cross symbol in the other. We
have rules and regulations on
human conduct based on what
we call civilization and have to
hire armies of policemen and
soldiers to put 'em into effect
while everybody is tryin' their
damnedeSt to get around 'em
so they can take advantage of
somebody else. We strive to at
tain a position in the world
whereby we can sit on top of
our particular dung hill and
snooze, while less fortunate
people do the work for us and
last but not the least, by any
means, is the silly idea we have
that we can kid ouselves into
the thought of universal peace
among the people of the world.
Self-preservation is the first
law of nature of all things and
selfishness is the basic charac-
teristic of the animal kingdom,
including man. Don't kid your
self - think about it for a
while before you deny it. Com
petition is the result of these
natural laws therefore you have
some who have, what we think
are, the desirable things of life
and others who haven't got 'em
but want 'em. The result is in
evitable. If you think we are
ever gonna have universal peace
and equability among humans
you're crazy - and that's what
We said when we started to get
this off our chest.
We think, personally, that we
take ourselves too seriously. The
headlines holler about the
Worlds Crisis and Destruction
of Civilization and warn of al
the terrible things that are
gonna happen to the world, but
We'll make the prediction
that no matter what happens in
Europe or Africa or America
this old world will continue to
roll on its axis - the sun will
continue to shine - grass will
continue to grow - water will
keep on rollin' down hill iii
Wyoming don't take it alb and
we're gonna live anyhow, till
we die, so what?
We heard Senator Wheeler
the other day - when he stated
his views on current problems
and we think he is right, or al
any rate, he is nearer right
than those hySterical inter
national money pirates. We art
a Republican but we'd vote fol
Wheeler tomorrow if it wa!
necessary. However, as we sale
before, we think they are al
crazy. If we had our way abou
it we'd declare war on the who'll
damn bunch over there an w
betcha we'd stop that war il
thirty days. j
