I am totally intrigued by a few facts, particularly about places I’ve lived, such as:
- Seattle, a city known for its cloudy and rainy weather, buys more sunglasses per capita than any other US city.
- Minnesota, a state known for its cold and snowy weather, has the most golfers per capita than any other US state.
Are these simply cases of supply and demand, where the scarcity of something causes the people take fuller advantage of the thing when it appears? Is this just simple irony, or is there another term for this? Anyone have any other examples, or any theories or explanations?
ben–i’ve explained this to you already. the people of seattle are not accustomed to sunlight. when the sun appears during the summer months it hurts our fragile eyes. therefore, we purchase more sunglasses than other people. also, our special sunglasses enable us to see the world as it really is: people being bombarded by media and government with messages like “Stay Asleep”, “No Imagination”, “Submit to Authority”. even scarier is that we are able to see that some usually normal-looking people are in fact ugly aliens in charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued.
Have you come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and are all out of bubble gum?
Outside the limit of our sight, feeding off us, perched on top of us, from birth to death, are our owners! Our owners! They have us. They control us! They are our masters! Wake up! They’re all about you! All around you!
