Thou Shalt [2]
Further satirical thoughts on modern life
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s…
Oil.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not steal.
What does “A deal” mean?
A good deal is when we get more out of it than the other party.
A bad deal is when the other party gets more out of it than us.
The best deal is when we get everything in return for the least, from us.
Like, when we get it for nothing.
Like, when we just take it.
Like, when we just steal it.
How often now, do we find ourselves as individuals, ripped off by some party taking money for something we didn’t want, need, or use?
This is commonplace now, accepted.
Good business.
Theft made legal.
With one rule broken, the others quickly follow.
Thou shalt not kill.
Except if it gets in the way of a good deal.
The best deal.
Theft, which is now legal.
So murder is now legal, especially if it results in a good deal.
