Holidays, free speech and makeup. In that order.

  2. Mine would be coffee, alcohol and free speech. I need my coffee first thing in the morning and I love my booze, I’m actually drinking a homemade gin and seltzer with Beefeater now. And free speech, I am a conservative with libertarian leanings and want to be able to say what’s on my mind and not go to jail. I barely wear makeup or jewelry, don’t like animals and don’t watch TV, just stuff from my huge DVD collection

  5. free speech, equality (before the law) and pets….

    two political and one personal,

    there’s nothing in the others (in terms of enjoyment and fulfillment) that I can’t also get from pets…

  7. Free speech is nothing without the power to subvert arbitrary orders, and so …

    I shall keep coffee three times as pets, extending equality to coffee as necessary and obvious, promoting my own welfare with coffee, and also giving myself brief holidays during which I shall keep coffee close.

    Upon fermentation of the coffee and the sugars I’ll put in it, I’ll set fire to the makeup with the resulting alcohol.

    Finally I’ll set fire to the TVs with the combination of the alcohol and the petroleum products remaining from the makeup, after which we should hear no more of these arbitrary trinities of tyranny from this TV potentate.

    If anything not disallowed is allowed, I’ll choose subversion and revolution, always. :-)

    (Also, the Kobayashi Maru scenario is especially winnable if you take the judges and administrators of the simulation hostage. :-) )

  8. equality, welfare, free speech

    Of course, I only agreed not to keep ” holidays” since vacations from work still remain. :) Including my summer vacation of 2 months. 🙂 🙂

    1. No, holidays means vacation. Otherwise, why even put it there?

      I don’t choose equality because I don’t know what it means anymore. The concept has been completely eviscerated.

      1. When I chose equality, I interpreted it as equality of opportunity to give everyone, who wants to try and make a life of dignity and basic comfort, a chance to do so. The abhorrently mutilated view a.k.a. equality of outcome is the bane of our times. I cannot complain enough about it, especially when such horrible ideas leave the realm of boring self-righteous books to start informing real educational policy and enter the classroom.

        1. This is so true. We are at the point where unequal outcomes mean everybody is a racist, sexist, fascist, and God knows what else. And we are stuck because there will never be an equality of outcomes. We are pursuing this absolute fantasy like idiots and destroying things in the process.
