This article is NOT funny in the least! Grrr.
Seriously, one cannot laugh when at knives’ length. The Civil War divided brother against brother, but they had honor to soften the worst of it. Where exists honor, anymore?
Laughter is great. It relieves built-up tension. Now, however, when the joke can get you in trouble, when it can be turned against you no matter what by those with no scruples, by the Deceivers, then what use humor? It is now only used as a tool of political oppression.
There is little fellowship; little common cause. There is only the bared fangs and the red murderous gaze. There is no longer the sense that we are all in the same boat. There is now no longer room for both of us. To the knives!
