How, hi are you?

I have bad jokes and an even worse sense of humor

Alphabet Challenge #1.1: Autonomy

The problem with being made is that you require a creator, someone to breath that life unto you that enables your feet to move, your legs to run, your brain to think.  There’s a conscious choice made with every movement, a purposeful drive towards some goal.  Yet whose will is being imposed upon you?  Can anything truly be your own thought or action?  If the inner workings of the conscious is unbeknownst to you, if you yourself cannot bestow that sort of life unto another, can you really be making your own choices? 

When I was created I was given a mind to roam within, my extremities were weakened by the stress of being born into the world so all that was left for me to do was stay in my little box.  The option to choose was taken away from me the second I opened my eyes.  I watched as shapes formed and deformed over me, watching me, probing me for faults and problems.  I could not move from this place.  Any conception of time escaped me.

So that’s all for this short start to the alphabet challenge, I’ll be writing again tomorrow.

Alrighty, time to get back at it, moved into my apartment and the alphabet challenge is back on!

[wgh420]

Uh-oh

So turns out trying to start a writing thing while moving isn’t the best, I’m going to pick up the alphabet challenge again from the start (not exactly losing a whole lot of progress) once I’m done moving.  So yeah, off to a great start...

Alphabet Challenge #1: Abstinence

Abstinence: a pretty basic concept in theory, nearly impossible in practice.  The forefront and staple of the American sexual education courses that most of us (blatantly assuming I attract an american audience) have taken at some point.  Now besides the typical bashing of this method, I’ll instead try to argue for it, why it may work, and a more effective means of teaching it.  

So, the whole, “Don’t have sex or else you will get pregnant and die,” thing is a bit overused and ineffectual.  Why is that?  Because it just simply doesn’t go far enough.  While that can be a course of action that happens (and many parents go through that, dying of old age after sexin’ it up and having children) it is too cut and dry of a manipulation.  It’s a ‘too little too late’ type of thing we’re dealing with.  If we really want to stop kids from wanting sex, you’ve either got to teach heavy masturbation (a step in the wrong di’erection’ some might argue) or start the lies earlier.  This here is the key, deception from an early age always works, you simply have to look at examples like the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, obedience of your elders, it’s a flawless system.  

So here’s where it gets good, you get to appeal to both sides with this one, you get to have earlier and more frequent sexual education which is what those liberals want, and you get to maintain the abstinence only teaching method.  The trick here is that you just continuously lie to them about sex, about what it is, why it is, and never, I mean NEVER, tell them that there’s a safe way to do it.  Say that STDs come from sex, even with two virgins, and say that only the vows of marriage and the permission of god allow them to create a baby, and even then it’s only ever for procreation.  To get abstinence to work, you’ve got to fully commit to lying forever.  The problem with starting so late is that they start becoming free thinking.  

So simply put, current abstinence only teaching is just a half-hearted effort to blatantly lie to our youths.  So instead of half-heartedly doing it, a shift to full-hearted campaign of lies is required starting with indoctrination at an early age to get full adherence rates.  A cleansing of dissenters in the adult and teenage population would have to occur of course, but that’s only a small price to pay for abstinence to work.

Introduction to the Alphabet Challenge

Starting tonight I’m going to write one thing each day based around a particular subject that I choose.  It may be an opinion I have on the matter, it could be a small fictional short story with it as inspiration.  The idea is to start at the letter “a” for my first topic and work my way down the alphabet to “z” where I may very well start back over from the top again.  I’ve been wanting to improve my writing but I never write enough in order to do it.  Hopefully this will be a good exercise and I’ll be able to look back after 26 days and see how my writing progresses.  I’m not expecting a whole lot of change but I am curious to see how it plays out.

I could smell the fish-soaked air wafting in from the port to the west.  It was like a cascade of all the bad parts of the ocean, and I still had yet to grow used to it despite living here for three and a half months. 

Pulling myself from the distasteful sense, I grabbed my coworker’s and fiance’s hand.  She looked over to me and smiled from cheek to cheek, and we continued our walk towards Vivens Machina, our workplace.

“Hey…” she began.

“What’s up?”

“Do you think we’ll ever go hunting again?”

The question came out of nowhere.  It had been four years since we least went.  Our fourth date, actually, I somehow remembered. 

“I don’t think they’ll ever allow us to again.”

“Ah… I figured.  I just hoped… maybe someday,” she said, gazing towards the horizon with a disappointed face.

“We’re really better off without the guns,” I said. “Safer.”

Four years ago

“You vote yet?” I asked, firmly placing my gun back into its case and then into the rear of the car. 

“Yes, of course.”

“Who?” I asked, opening her door for her and then briskly walking to the driver’s seat to hear her answer.

“Are you allowed to ask that?  I thought it was illegal to ask someone that,” she teased.

“Come on,” I nudged. “I’ll tell you mine.  I voted for Mr. Vivens.”

She smiled and nodded.  “Yes, it really was the only choice, wasn’t it?  After what they’ve done for California and Virginia, who can really vote for anyone else.  I mean, everything they’ve done for us has just gone perfectly, despite  some people’s concerns…”

“Those people are racists,” I snapped back. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re borne from woman or assembly line.  If you can feel and think and act, you are just as capable of leading the country as anyone else.”

“Oh, you don’t have to tell me,” she said, trying to calm me down.  “Come on, let’s get home so we can watch the election results.”

Present

A Gen9 flew up and stopped us on the steps to the Vivens Machina, hovering directly in front of our faces, its shell flashing blinding red and orange. 

We are proud to tell you that your services to this company are no longer needed.  You have been granted Full Retirement by the United States Government, and may return home immediately.

We looked at each other in shock.

“Surely there is some kind of mistake?  We are both lawyers, a protected occupation,” Violet offered.

There is no mistake.  Please return home to enjoy your Full Retirement.

Two more Gen9′s soared over to us, and we quickly took the hint, retreating back from where we had came from.

“They don’t need lawyers any more?” she said, a look of horror on her face.

“No one to sue or defend,” I said. “You didn’t see this coming?  We haven’t done anything other than clerical for more than two months.”

“I guess… I guess I just wasn’t ready for it.  I’ll be okay.  It’s a blessing, really, isn’t it?  Full Retirement and all?”

“Yes, it is.”

And so we walked through the body-less streets to our home, peacefully lay down into our Full Retirement chambers, felt the icy blue fluid rush over our bodies, and went to sleep for the rest of our lives.
