A "Roll-ism" that even he forgot the origin of.

It probably has something to do with the Schmenge brothers.

If I was you, I would not worry about it. And I wouldn't cross-
post every single time, either. All of your posts cannot
apply to the same three newsgroups everytime, can they?

Heavy equipment like emotional tractors and bulldozers
littered the RBR stage in what must have been some kind of
tragic mistake. I mean, this was a place for humans to run
their emotional equipment on, so maybe an over-zealous buyer
or seller had omitted, added or modified the wrong/right
word in the purchase order. A few people were still sitting
in the audience claiming they had invested some emotion
before the tragedy ended the performance, and now it was
still owed them back. The manager (of what, it wasn't clear)
had to be called to try to deal with them. "People are each
others' tools each others' robots," the disgruntled audience
members' self-appointed spokesman told him. "Each person is
the only real human and all the others are machines put here
either as helpmates or as cruel jokes or both." The manager
thought about saying "Nooses are never useless" in this
situation, but he knew it would be misunderstood and counter-
productive, though he knew that being misunderstood doesn't
always have to be counterproductive and, in fact,... but
that was for another time. So instead he said, "Uhhh, yes,
but I'm sure you'll also agree that the market is here
precisely for this purpose: to create the appearance of
emotion among these non-humans, as an interface to the one,
the only true human, YOU (or ME)." "So the market is about
the movement of emotion, not about the movement or exchange
of goods?" the audience member asked, ingenuously. "Yes,"
the manager answered, knowingly, "Goods are just the

emotional dish rags -- and, anyway, they don't really exist
as external matter, but only as neural patterns -- patterns
of electrical activity -- but the same is true for emotions,
so there really IS no difference between pure heartfelt
emotion and the slimiest capitalist widget." The spokesman
nodded his head, the others however were still disgruntled
but too emotionally drained to do anything about it. That's
why they wanted their emotion back. So they'd be able to do
something stupid about having lost it in the first place.
And that something, once they finally did get it back after
generations, became well-known and widely-practiced, decades
hence, under the brand name: Emotional Suicide.

Yah, that's appropriate. If anyone asks for the rbr faq,
just send this.
