Nah, Andrea, kind soul, it’s a metaphor really. These are very vampirical times. & although unlike some "animal lovers" I would not chose to save an animal over a human under most circumstances, but it has become further and further apparent that there can be found more “humaneness” amongst some species of animal than among some influential cliques of mankind (born of womankind). In my heart-of-hearts sometimes I imagine that, like some aboriginal tribespersons, given the circumstance maybe I would not hesitate to consume my enemy (or, in the instance of this metaphor, my philosophical guide/totem).

Is that sickening? Sigh. I don’t feel sad about sickening someone in this situation. Point being: Some bloodlines have evolved into the worst most unimaginable sorts of creature feature, and they seem to hold all the cards. Those very same cards with which they build our houses & their manors & sundry fiendish fortresses.

Perhaps let’s not forget that Hannibal was deeply provoked as a child into unleashing his hellishness. Forced to partake in such Grand-Guignol gastronomy, he was torn into pieces by Mordor’s dire cruelty. So was Freddy Kruger, as far as that goes: As a mere child, his father met him in the basement daily with the sullen end of blunt force trauma. Today we all know the working end of a fugly-stick so vile…as to pit highest affluence against the mere hope of basic life, liberty, and the pursuit of …shelter from the storm. Hey, fact is, I boiled and tasted the afterbirth of our 2nd son (born in our own bed with the loving aid of a midwife & her teen-aged apprentice). So in some way I must admit to having eaten human flesh. What I didn’t eat——which was most of it——was gifted to the local coyote population. They didn’t even think twice. Plus no self-respecting husband worth his weight in saltwater would not gladly eat his wife on a lavish basis and with a verve—& it is my contention that the 1st or 2nd leading cause of divorce runs directly proportional to the lack thereof…but that’s just my opinion. (o: Forgive my cheekiness——but then what would the DBIS be without cheek :O)
