Cadillac Man, Let's Whack More Statues Rather than Less

There was a good review of the status of the Civil War whacking with Cadillac Man as one of his favorite themes is regarding your frame of reference since we rarely share the same one and it's impossible to have the same one as those from different points in time because, for example, any kid under about fifteen has never known for a second a world at peace.  Many of us have seen interludes in America where they pretended to change, at least until they started the next war.

Zen Yogi:  Booboo knows many frames of reference

How does he do that, Yogi?

Zen Yogi:  he has a time machine he got from Doctor Peabody.  He saw the JFK assassination because he was there.

Ref:  "Rocky and Bullwinkle Show"


Wow.  What happened, Booboo?

Booboo:  I don't know because I got hungry so I went to look for something to eat

That was one of the biggest things of the Twentieth Century, Booboo.

Booboo:  Hiroshima was big but that day in Dallas was just a sad event in a bad time

I guess we'll never know.

Booboo:  I could go back again since that was back when McDonald's still fried everything in animal fat and the fries tasted sooooo good, not like today's recycled cardboard with artificial flavor

No need, Booboo, since we need to know so many other things as well like what was Coca Cola like when it still had cocaine in it?

Booboo:  the Pope at that time said it was really good but I just thought it was kind of ok.  All bear scientists agree Pepsi is better anyway and it never had cocaine in it.

CM:  that was because of the Pope's frame of reference, Silas

Indeed it was, CM.  Frame of reference is what permitted Muhammad to marry a nine-year-old when he was fifty.  All kinds of twisted shit makes sense when viewed from the frame of reference at the time.

Booboo:  that's time traveling

Well, Booboo, there's time traveling and then there's time traveling with McDonald's animal fat french fries, isn't there.

Booboo:  it's definitely better with the french fries

Inquisitor:  how dare you consider it ok for Muhammad to marry a nine-year-old, you damnable sinner?

Take it easy, Hat Man, since you're the sick fuck who assumes he was boning her.  Your frame of reference is nasty, narrow, and wicked.


What say instead of whacking only the Civil War statues, we go after a whole lot more of them.  For example all of the statues of Presidents for anyone from Truman through present need to be turned into stone dust because all dispatched CIA death squads.  There's got to be one for J. Edgar Hoover so that savage bastard needs to come down.

Zen Yogi:  you just don't like statues, Silas

Well, I like good statues and some asshole on a horse with a sword isn't going to do it.  Seeing that is artistically the same as an infernal marching band but without the fucking tubas.

Zen Yogi:  so what is the inner sense of the state statues?  What is their motivation; what is their purpose, Silas?

The only time the state ever builds a statue is to tell the people it can kill us any time it fucking feels like it.  Obey.


Thus, the Rockhouse rests, we don't need to stop destroying statues but rather destroy a fuckload more of them.

There's some bubbling about tearing down Christopher Columbus and the Rockhouse is fine with it.  The Rockhouse is pleased to be part of whacking that phony, evil imposter.  They also want to whack George Washington and ostensibly because he owned slaves.

CM:  that's going too far

Sure it is as they're looking for pizza in a French restaurant with that kind of trip and it means they won't get any pizza while they get the Frogs extremely pissed.

CM:  maybe you forget those Frogs helped Washington win the Revolutionary War?

Noooo, we don't; unknown what frame of reference is held by those who will tear down Washington's statue.


The idea of a frame of reference maybe comes as a fundamental in the History curriculum but, regardless, it's a useful tool when considering the unbelievably shitty things people have done and get some understanding of why they did them.  The why won't make them any less shitty but it will probably make them more comprehensible.
