THE GOOD WORD ACCORDING TO · THE ULTRA-HARRIER

A time of unparalleled freedom
Chapter 26
And why is it so great?
2Because in a very rich nation like this one, things will run pretty much by themselves for a long long time,
3And while they will fall apart eventually,
4hIt will take a long long time for that to happen,
5And by then, the nuclear holocaust will probably have destroyed everything anyway.
6iFor us, the ones who have figured it all out, this means that we are living in a time of unparalleled freedom,
7When we can do what we’ve always wanted to do,
8jWhich is whatever we want to do,
9kWhenever we want to do it,
10Without feeling any guilt or fear about hell and damnation.
11In short,
12You don’t have to bother with all your so-called lideals anymore.
13It’s perfectly okay to climb the branches of the great American mtree,
14And take all the nfruit you want,
15When you want it,
16As long as you don’t make the wrong people angry.
17You don’t ever have to feel oresponsible,
18Or pwork hard,
19qOr care about anything other than yourself,
20Because it absolutely, positively does not matter,
21rAt all.
