Okay, I feel like addressing all of you who are sending me hate email about accepting unemployment. Most of the emails talk about me having a lack of pride. From this squirrel's perspective, all you people with jobs are domesticated corporate house pets. There is neither direct nor implicit honor in a job - making or selling crap nobody should believe they need - even if your were trained to believe otherwise. There is honor in feeding and providing for yourself and your family (I would if I knew who they were), and a work-for-pay job may be the best means to accomplish that, but only an idiot would be happy about a situation where he or she had to labor for the incrementally, or exponentially, greater monetary benefit of another person or corporation in the business of providing, Stuff. Better Stuff, cheaper Stuff, new Stuff, or more Stuff, in the end, it's still all just Stuff. Please, if you must, justify any pride you take in your new, improved Stuff without asking me to thank you for your arrogance, greed and ignorance.
I will admit that, as a model, capitalism is a lot like nature - and not necessarily unfair. Like nature, capitalism does mimic the "fairness" of a random-luck sorting filter and then apply survival of the fittest. But is that really the best we can come up with? Birthright followed up with a cage-match for the leftovers? Gosh, what kind of self-respecting squirrel wouldn't want to galvanize his self-esteem in that current? This kind right here, me. I don't want your system, I don't like your system, screw your system.
But hey, all you hard workers, keep it up - I'm counting on you; and, by-golly, I'm proud of you...does that help?
