    I wish I was. Being a woolly-minded bleeding-hearted liberal is so not paying the bills.

  2. An Unreliable Witness comments:

    Hmm. Is this really a truth though, in the common everyman sense of the ‘truth’, with or without the biblical overtones? I am not sure that your assertion is correct, Miss Smith. If I may be so bold, I would like to respectfully suggest a slight rewrite.

    I think the word ‘capitalist’ would have been better phrased as ‘marxist’. And as for the word ‘pig’, that might have better been put as ‘bunny’, thus lessening the porcine overtones, don’t you agree? I think if you analyse your real reasoning behind this piece - which I have in some depth - you will undoubtedly find that you did in fact mean that you are a marxist bunny.

    Boing boing and, indeed, boing.

    How very dare you, Mr Witness! I have never been so offended.

    *boing, boing, boing*

    aren’t we all

    whether we want to be or not

    it’s inescapable

    Z: But I bet you have a lot more fun.

    AUW: I think I’ve said this to you before, but I always want to rip off your skullcap and peer into your brain.

    Marxist bunny: Carrot?

    Clarissa: Is it? Am I just fooling myself that I have a choice?

  6. Z comments:

    Well, no, there’s not much fun, but there’s tons of moral righteousness, which is always a comfort.

    Woe betide the world then if you ever get together with a male chauvinist pig and have a litter of little piggy-wiggies. It really doesn’t bear thinking about, does it?

    (What’s the emoticon for a shudder I wonder?)

  8. Lore comments:

    Carrot, please.

  9. Ani comments:

    Z: Ha. That segues very nicely into the concepts in my next post.

    Jim: Shudder indeed! The very idea. I may be capitalist swine, but even I have my limits!

    Lore: Join the queue behind Mr Bunny, Mr Lore, and someone will be with you shortly.

    In this case *two* carrots and green salad, please.
