There is an organization in Texas called _The Church of the SubGenius_,
devoted to the teachings of some guy with a pipe in his mouth named "BOB."
I'm not a member, but part of their 'theology' parallels mine.
As the planet gets more crowded, we must realize that 'slack' is
precious, schmucks are plentiful, impingements are impractical and
werewolf etiquette for self-defense is a personal necessity.
Techniques must be developed to enable each of us to escape the other
guy's bullshit (just as he wishes to escape ours). Heaven would be a
place where bullshit existed only on television. (Hallelujah! We's halfway
there!)
People should be encouraged to look after their own self-interest, but avoid
*inflicting* themselves on other people--especially don't inflict yourself
on a schmuck. The guy has already made his choice. Cut the schmuck some
slack.
[The above is one of the least entertaining parts of the book--other parts
talk about corn sandwiches, the Plaster Casters, Zappa's 1975 lawsuit
against the British Crown, his youthful fascination with explosives, etc.]
