MB 80: Starting Our Own Civilization

You see the news today? I feel like the whole world’s going crazy. I don’t watch the news. It makes me feel like the whole world’s going crazy. I mean, it makes me just wanna get away from it all, you know, move off the grid, start over. Like Grizzly Adams? I feel like if I move my family out into the wild, and found a clean water source, made the right farming plan, I could have a pretty effective self-sustaining lifestyle. Could get lonely. Yeah, and we’d have to get more people. Maybe build up a little group, like a society. But not a cult, though? No, no, not a cult. I mean, just a small group of like-minded folks who all live together in total harmony. Similar beliefs? Identical beliefs. But not a cult? No, no, no. Just some normal people with their heads on straight, you know, making our own rules for our own society. Ooh, we could also make our own clothes. Okay. Bright green jumpsuits. And, of course, everybody would need to pull their weight. Of course. Gotta help make the jumpsuits. And bring in new members. Maybe bring in a little money too. Well, when we accept new members, we can get them to donate all their money and worldly possessions to our cause. Including their clothes because of the jumpsuits. And if anybody does anything wrong, we get to decide what happens to them. Okay, and what if, and I’m pausing here for dramatic effect, so I hope you’re on the edge of your seat, we get a gumball machine. And I’m not talking about one of those little gumball machines. I’m talking about a big gumball machine, like the ones you see when you’re exiting a grocery store. And we fill that thing up with Skittles, all different color Skittles except for green. There’s only one green Skittle in there, and when a person gets that green Skittle, they receive the honor of being… Sacrificed! I love it. Also, we discourage anybody from having any kind of doubts about our new society. If you don’t like it, you can leave it. But don’t leave because we will find you. And we should have a big teddy bear as a mascot. How about just a charismatic leader? You know, he can be the mascot. I’ll do it. Well, what I’m saying is there’s not gonna be a teddy bear costume. Then you do it. Well, I’ve been told I look like a cult leader. But it’s not a cult. Oh, no, definitely not a cult, I mean, just a new society with our own rules, our own shared specific beliefs, and green jumpsuits. Sign me up. Hey, can I have one of the those? Bless you son. Our first sacrifice.
