things i hope to never see on Mars
This is my "Mosquito Swatting" page. I am not sure where I heard this, and forgive me if I totally butcher it, but someone asked the Dalai Lama about being enlightened "all the time". The Dalai Lama said that on a some days, when a mosquito landed on his arm, he would let it take a little blood and then gently brush it away; on some other days, when a mosquito landed on his arm, he would immediately brush it away; and on some other other days, when a mosquito landed on his arm, SMOOSH!--that mosquito was a goner.
All I am really trying to say, is that is can be satisfying to be a little "judgey" once-in-a -while as long as I am not causing untold wreckage.
(My apologies ahead of time to Ms. Ryan.)

Billboards
Billboards had their heyday and it is OVER. Pack it up, Billboards. 
Garbage Dumps
I don't know one person who is actually in favor of this landscaping aesthetic. Let's just leave this system of waste "management" on Earth. 
Rampant Unregulated Industry
wheeze* cough* 
Walmart
An acknowledged scourge of the working class--and thus EVERYBODY--this "Siren's Song-based" evil corporation shouldn't be allowed to exist.. Not only do I not want to see it on Mars, I do not want to see it here. 
Malls
I guess I'll have to get crappy Chinese food and designer jeans somewhere else. Portland's got the crappy Chinese food part covered. 
Unhelpful Two-Party Political Systems
*barf* 
Cookie-Cutter Suburban Neighborhoods
As an artist and a documented Number 4, a general lack of beauty and intention in both public buildings and residential neighborhoods is a major cause of spiritual ennui and depression. Or is that oversimplified? A general lack of beauty and intention in both public buildings and residential neighborhoods is a contributing factor in spiritual ennui and depression in the US. But, with the abolishment of the middle-class clearly underway, this probably won't matter soon enough and gratitude for any living place will kick back in. Skim Milk

Cats
I know this could be controversial, as people tend to be a bit obsessive about cats. I, however, am allergic and cannot imagine a more absolute "Indoor Cat" situation. Gross. 
Meg Ryan
I mean really---would any of us want to hang out with Meg Ryan? Just looking at her is a chore. Let's leave her where she belongs: under an Earth rock. 
Single Use Plastic Items
There is no logical need or sound reasoning for single-use plastic items on Earth--it is a problem I would like to see left behind. 
Obscene Amounts of Junk Mail
Paper abuse! Culturally sanctioned species extermination! Oxygen rules! 
Shag Rugs
(Dust-mite Heaven) I like my dust-mites like I like my mascara--on my eyelashes. 
Aliens!
Yikes! This may be the ONE thing that would keep me from wanting to live on Mars. 
Unapologetic Promotion of Unhealthy and Inappropriate Ideals of a Feminine Beauty
Self explanatory, yes? |
