Liberty on the Beach

Every once in awhile, I'm reminded of the big status game (it's amazing how subtle and sophisticated this game can get), human beings like to play. Big Monkey Man (or Woman) puffing themselves up, lording it over all the subordinate little Monkeys. This especially becomes apparent in my little business circle. It is a fucking annoying little game. Sometimes, with a little psychic distance, it can be entertaining, but sometimes in the middle of the muddle it's painful. Some days, I just know Charles Darwin is looking over my shoulder, taking detailed notes...and Roddy McDowell, looking like he badly needs a shave, is whispering in my ear..."hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil..."
