“Our "society" is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units. Desperately insecure, fearing his woman will leave him if she's exposed to other men or to anything remotely resembling life, the male seeks to isolate her from other men and from what little civilization there is, so he moves her out to the suburbs, a collection of self-absorbed couples and their kids. Isolation, further, enables him to try to maintain his pretense of being an individual by being a "rugged individualist", a loner, equating non-co-operation and solitariness with individuality.” IfsMenTryingLittlesSelfKidsMovingIndividualCommunityCoupleCivilizationMalesIndividualityOperationsIsolationCollectionsOur SocietyExposedIsolatedUnitsInsecurePretenseSuburbsLonerSelf AbsorbedRuggedFamily Unit Author:Valerie Solanas
“...and suddenly it hits you: Human skin is actually made up of billions of tiny units of protoplasm, called "cells"! And what is even more interesting, the ones on the outside are all dying! This is a fact. Your skin is like an aggressive modern corporation, where the older veteran cells, who have finally worked their way to the top and obtained offices with nice views,are constantly being shoved out the window head first, without so much as a pension plan,by younger hotshot cells moving up from below.” WayFirstsHumansMadeFactsMovingInterestingViewsNicePlansModernDyingOfficeWindowSkinsBillionsTinyCellsCorporationsAggressiveUnitsVeteranPensionMoving UpPension Plans Author:Dave Barry
