Truth! Chicks like to keep a sausage casin' around. . .maily to protect against other sausage casin's. Well, that; and some do make good ATM machines. (MGTOW anyone?)

Nuclear family vs: DINKhood. DINKhood. Cook for 2, dishes for two, take turns, or each DIY. Same with laundry, and everything else. Abode gets way less messy. Only have to buy groceries for two, and your off work time is yours to do as you will. No driving sprogs around, no extra gratuitous expenses, no gratuitous obligations. Ah, what a nice, low stress dream. Then there's the alternative:

Five times as much housework, more overtime, higher expenses all around, good-bye to 8 hours sleep, good bye to more than 10 minutes a day of discretionary time on a good day, and woe if you find yourself unemployed with a gaggle of dependents that you can't host anymore. And what I find hilarious is that people in this category attack the DINKS. Why? Jealousy? 'SORRY I THREW MY LIFE AWAY, NOW I'M GONNA TAKE IT OUT ON THOSE WHO DIDN'T!'??????

STATUS! GOTTA HAVE STATUS! Gotta buy that house, gotta have a new car every year. Gotta have my Gucci bag and designer clothes that cost 16 times as much as more generic brands, even though I gotta average 70 hour workweeks to do it. IS IT WORTH IT? Are the opinions of the masses, which really don't give flyin' feck that important to you. Not to mention, these days you make yourself a target of the psychopathic and entitled have-nots. Maybe you should read 'A TALE OF TWO CITIES'. Is temporary stuff worth the misery in the fast lane you cause yourself, trying to keep up with your pointless life?

Finally. So you wanna be royalty or an aristocrat? Sure. You have nice digs and killer food every night. You also have an image to present. My the books I've read about them. Jeanne de Clisson, Anne Lister, and Olive MacLeod Temple got off easy (Depending on your priorites. But they did have personal freedom, eventually.), but when the royalty and lesser aristocracy isn't raping, hunting and eating sprog, they have to follow strict protocols. Personal freedom in so many respects is not allowed. Marriage is for alliances, not love. Self-censorship is nothing new, and it goes way beyond freedom of expression, which is temporarily on its way out right now. . .for anyone with anything to lose. And it was worse for the chicks than the sausage casings, though the sausage casings had different kinds of pressures.

There's way more than this, but hey! I've got a couple of shopping trips in a half hour, and a book to read. Unless there's a holiday (or a major set of car repairs. . .AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!), I generally read a book a week. It's sweet being able to spend 6-8 hours a day on some killer literature. . .which I get at our Dollar Tree, which gets a new shipment in every month. Kinda makes me glad no one wants to read anymore. I get all the good titles. Most of the books I manage to finish in 2 or 3 days, and I'm doing absolutely NOTHING for the world which I hold in utmost contempt during that time. Then when I can afford it, I ship a lot of them to a buddy down south, and others to a pair of artists up north who do art for art's sake that I kind of identify with. . .regarding what I used to be before becoming a complete has-been. Another one of my kicks in the face to the economy.

Oh yes. Before I fergit. . .NEENER-NEENER!!!!!!!!
