Are you gifted? I’m going to go out on a limb and answer for you. Of course you are! You’re here, right? Not just here at this party— a notorious hangout for troublemakers, both local and galactic— but let’s just take an inventory of what you’ve accomplished to be there at all. I think you’re hooked on being there and communicating, the two unforgivable crimes. You’ve acquired a taste for these guilty pleasures. Guilty as charged, and already serving your sentence, right? Showing up at my party is a parole violation. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. Our whole society is just a bit more outlaw Than our rulers would like to admit. Now, why was being there outlawed? I don’t remember either, but here’s my guess: Wherever you show up, you’re poaching on somebody’s turf. And how did they acquire this turf exactly? Did they build it or steal it? There were scorched earth campaigns Before there was earth to scorch! Send those pesky natives back to native state! What, they were here first? Let’s see the chain of title! Oh, you’ve got one?
Guilty as charged!
