What, me care!

      At 80, I live in a culture where virtually no one knows Alfred E Neumann.  Generations past laughter at Mad Magazine's "fuck up" hero in the same way we laughed at the primitive sensibilities of our cherished "cowboys and indians". They were culture markers illuminating how 'not' to play being human. Back in the day, we noted and generally adhered.  Alas, today these counter-functional icons are, in updated style, still with us, but.....now these "fuckup-heros" pattern the chosen life strategies of 50% of the population, i.e., "the homies"

     The almost equal ridiculous "secular woke left" make their living assigning ICD-10 Codes to these Alfred E. behavioral norms mostly to fulfill their egotistical need to advertise their sophistication/virtue/compassion. Sadly this "counter-stupid" signalling yields equally stupid behaviors. Today I heard Robert Reich say that "150 million Americans don't want to work because it's too oppressive."  "What, me care"
