The Architects of the Brave New World

Para-phrase:

… when the city had stretched its metal web from pole to pole, leaving green things only in the wells of immortal minds.

The Fall of Earth City by Hawkwind from The Church of Hawkwind, an album that I’ll listen to at this very moment.

The conservatives rule in Texas even among the proclaimed Democrats (liberals? eh…). I have just been involved in a mass killing of organic creatures for no other reason than to maintain both useless aesthetics and anthropomorphic superiority/isolation. All possibilities of pests entering a certain perimeter has been rendered nil. Any infestation of green, herbivoric material, by means of slaughter, is no longer a concern.

This abstracts out to putting convenience above biodiversity. The monobiopsychosis of the state of Texas (or the State of Texanship) sees all life beneath it if that life intrudes on the whimsical habits of modern life.
