AMOROUS EPHEMERA (NSFW)While leafing through the recent issue of Reason, I came upon this confusing advertisement and image:
A bit odd, no?
To be fair, the advertiser — “The Twelve Visions Party” — may be a virtuous troupe of happenin’ freedom mongers.
But their ad campaign has an uncanny valley thing going on. Not unlike this robot interview.
My fellow libertarians are by and large swell people, but ever since my visit to a Harry Browne rally in 2000, I’ve noticed that a few of them have the glazed-over “Scientologist Look” in their eyes.
It’s as if the mere mention of the terms “eminent domain” and “easement” send them straight into a trance.
A completely unfair characterization, to be sure, but I’m throwing it out there for discussion.
Unmitigated ass-whistles of vivacity indeed. I am overcome with visions of truth and beauty.
Thank you, Crappy Taxidermy; I am in your debt. (This ain’t shabby, either.)
