The Fictionist: Human
Redemption
I had the opportunity to
converse with a well-known fiction writer who has enjoyed being
celebrated and deservingly so.
The conversation was deeper,
more provocative and outrageous than I ever had expected.
We hit upon the subjects of
overpopulation, the school shooting epidemic, corporate corruption,
bad politicians, gangs, punishment for rapists and other violent
offenders, militia groups, terrorists and non productive drains on
our society and resources.
Thus, he proposed that the
antagonists noted above and along these lines of non desirable human
beings be held in a special trial that would determine if they are,
a matter of fact, guilty of such atrocities as a human be-ings that
go against natural law and also those man made laws within our
societies that are universal for governing - And, if found guilty,
would meet an interesting end which forces them to do something for
the common good and human and cosmic redemption.
Please note, this fictionist
is also a wealthy real estate investor with properties in Hawaii,
New Zealand, Australia, California, Maine, Florida, Brazil and the
Fiji Islands - For he is a true red blooded capitalist, after all -
even though he is environmentally conscious of what needs to work
for a sustainable world. This may help explain what I am about to
reveal.
The fictionist went on to
convince me, as we are experiencing more and more signs of
overpopulation harming the psyche of cultures and our environment
as more and more people in the United States and around the world
are on a downward spiral of demise and, for instance, our oceans
and seas are being over-fished and polluted blood banks need blood
- and people are desperate for organs for transplants the
fictionist suggested that people who are clearly established as
guilty of being unworthy human beings, unable to be rehabilitated,
far gone wastes of resources within are society and those who have
committed heinous acts of violence and even greed where people were
left victimized these people should be put to death in medical
laboratories that operate like factories.
However before they are put
death the proper medical procedures would be followed so that the
blood is drained and goes to blood banks for people in need, organs
are removed and used for people in need, flesh is cut up and made
into a chum to feed sharks off coastal regions that are big on
tourism so that sharks quit attacking tourist swimmers because of
the lack of resources they are facing in their native waters, bones
are grinded into fertilization for soil every part of the body
used for something useful while shamans bless and cleanse each of
these transactions for purity and the cyclic ways of life and death
and renewal for goodness beyond this material world making amends
with the spirit world that gently or harshly covers us like a
gossamer blanket.
Furthermore, the fictionist
raised the point that the money spent on his ideas for purifying an
overpopulated race of undesirables would not only better serve our
collective psyche but also be far less costly than housing serious
offenders in jails, prisons and mental institutions.
While I sat there pondering
these words, these thoughts, these images, this meaning, the
fictionist proceeded to logically state that just the thought of
this reality that could start somewhere and then hopefully be
universally adapted made him feel right with Mother Nature, with the
cosmos the perfect opportunity for human redemption and a start
for some new businesses as well.
The curls on my head sharpened
I could feel them as defined as the hair on the back of my neck
which was raised my mind was a blank page as I shut off the
Dictaphone.

programs that are issue oriented, self propagating, and just plain
honest and fun like this one below -
Why are guns legal and pot not?
Guns and people w/ guns kill other
people.
Guns and people w/ guns massacre
people.
Guns help slaughter innocent people.
Without an abundance of guns these
weirdo killers will not have the easy opportunity to slay so
many people.
Without an abundance of guns what are
these weirdo killers gonna do stab everyone in their site to
death?!
Without an abundance of guns what are
these weirdo killers gonna do stone everyone in their site
to death?!
And, really, why are guns legal but
pot is not?! Since when does a marijuana cigarette, reefer
stick, joint, doobey kill someone?!
I'd rather see marijuana cigarettes,
reefer sticks, joints and doobies in the hands of teens and
everyone than guns!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Canada has it right????????????
Viva La Quebec, Viva Vancouver, Viva
Montreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
