Cosmic Jokes

The utter and absolute absurdity of Governor Eric Holcomb ceding his responsibility to the citizens of the State of Indiana (apparently his brain and testicles went also) to an unelected gynecologist named Box just proves that we are trapped in a Cosmic Nightmare/Joke.  

It seems that in return for his soul, he received in return an unending supply of sports metaphors and long-sleeved tee shirts that stick out six inches past the cuffs on his sports jackets.

A benevolent dictator is still a dictator.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

C.S. Lewis
