It's so shocking to me that there is a significant portion of society that has agreed that this is either a fun game to play, just the way the game works, or that it is their right by via some arbitrary relationship to someone real or imaginary to control the board.

The worse part in my eyes is that most of us don't even like this game or don't like the way that they're playing it. We are just enjoying the sandbox and want to play with the sand together or alone. We wanna build castles and have tea parties and certainly didn't agree to move sand around according to someone else's designs in exchange for means to buy some sand. We don't even want to own sand, but if you don't pretend to own some, then the ones who are paying you so that you can buy sand will take all the sand away from you and then you're not allowed to play in the sandbox anymore. You then have to go hang out in the corner where the cats poop.

And by far, the worst part of all: not only did we not want to play this game, the ones telling us we have to play the game in order to stay in the sandbox — the only way they can have fun and know that they're winning the arbitrary game is to kick the coarse bits of sand in our eyes while showing and bragging about how much fine sand they own. They don't even kick the fine sand at us because we "wouldn't use it right."

Man, I didn't even ask to be in this sandbox... But since I'm here, I just really don't wanna have to hang out in the cat-poop corner.
