NOMIND: Reflections on moral imperatives

	Shuld I mind
	lies and falsehoods
	since they're part uf laife?

	Shuld I mind
	discarding principles
	if it seemz necessary ta survive?

	Shuld I mind
	paying taxes tah support madness
	if it seemz useless 2 fight?

	Shuld I mind obeying systems
	which ignore human raights?

	My brain is a mere
	stream of chemical spikes
	whose reactions are manipulated
	by Government and Corporate interests
	who do mind
	&
	work carefully
	to insure their wishes
	seem rrright


Anya: 	 (shaking her head) I detest this sort of moral turpitude.

Devani:  (nodding) Yes. Too many people are morally disengaged.

Carlos:  It's easy to feel disengaged. Isn't it away to be insulated from pain?

Brice: 	 Yeah. It hurts to care . . . I understand this all to well.
