The USA today has more "Disparity of Wealth" between the members of this society than almost any society in all of human history. In my opinion, the "Disparity of Wealth" is the only significant indicator of social violence, or divisiveness. The USA has as much "Disparity of Wealth" as Imperial Rome, the France of Louis XVI, or Imperial Russia. For example, there are 60,000 homeless people in Los Angeles alone that have been thrown in the garbage and forced to live in the street. There are no "real" social services for them. At the time of the Bolshevik revolution, 60 per cent of the factory workers in Moscow were homeless and slept underneath their workbenches. It was THIS "Disparity of Wealth" that fueled the Bolshevik Revolution. The Russian Constitution to this day still guarantees a place to live for every member of that society. You do not see homeless camps in Russia.
Unfortunately, "Wealth never divests itself voluntarily." There is probably no resolution to this current problem of "divisiveness" except Civil War and the redistribution of Wealth in a more equitable manner. I hope I am wrong.

You ARE your job function
"In America, you have no value as a human being. Your only worth is as a job function, or an expense account. You have no soul." - Zobo the Clown

Hello?
In the ever dwindling universe of file cabinet task force and regurgitated social obligations, one thing stands out as being inexorably curious, there are no laundrymats on the planet Venus and modern postal codes make no allowance for extra terrestrial delivery. No wonder I am all alone without friends or giant reticulated promises of future employment. Sad really, there is no reason...
Angular dialectics of circular reasoning provide all the legal excuses I am looking for. There is only one conclusion, science has betrayed the promise of mankind and sugar coated donuts have completed the deception. There are no chocolate chips cookies in the organic pantry and rubber chickens cannot fly to Mars. Nevertheless, I find myself without purpose or reason, sitting in my shorts contemplating why I am all alone.
Elbow macaroni never had it so good when you consider the alternatives. But it still seems too "flexible" for me. Remarkably, the DADA art movement was the only significant exercise in gastronomic art parodies, and as such has no equal, even to this day.
Nevertheless, nobody really cares if you are dead or alive, especially if the TV is turned on.

Why we drink coffee
Coffee drinking is an addiction. 80% of all the people on Earth are addicted to caffeine and drinking coffee. Why does capitalism "like" this addiction and promote the drinking of coffee? (so people wake up on time for get their fix and then report to the factory on time).
After 6 - 8 hours, your body needs caffeine. If you drink caffeine on a regular (time clock) schedule, the caffeine will keep you on that schedule.
When I quit drinking coffee, I noticed that my sleep cycles became "disturbed." I did not get tired at the same time each day. Sometimes I was "awake" at night. Sometimes I fell asleep during the day. I realized that the human "internal clock" is not as regulated as the factory clock. Drinking caffeine keeps me on a regular hourly sleep wake cycle that is good for business and good for the factory owner.
Humans do not have a regular sleep cycle because the light/dark cycles of night and day change so much during the year. In the winter we have about ten hours of light and fourteen hours of darkness. In the summer, those hours are reversed, with almost fourteen hours of light and ten hours of darkness. In that constantly changing "light environment," there is no regular time clock reference to regulate the "internal biological clock." The biological clock does not have the rigorous temporal accuracy of modern time.
This is why we drink caffeine: It is good for business and keeps us going to work at the same time (on the clock) each day.
