Paternal Abandonment, Part III

PHOTO: Do you look at this picture and see Satan?

I am not calling everyone a loser: sarcasm is the language of losers, and besides I resemble that accusation. It turns out I have lots of help too. Television does enough name calling as an inventor of situations to persuade a generation or two that middle-aged white people are villains, especially white males. It seems for the last fifty years the blunt end of all sarcasm has been this:

"The white man, after all, is the devil."

Bam! There it is. The sun is out and I admit the white man is Satan. Okay? Good... up to this point you were all right? Willing to take a fresh look at what happens next? You guessed it: another "MooPig Miserable Anecdote."

Biggest question blazing in the eyes of me is "Who is white, man?"

Do you remember the original Lassie TV episodes? Lassie lived with white folks.

"You see, Timmy, dogs don't bark at nothing," said Timmy's Mommy. "Lassie is always re-defining her familiar surroundings."

"But Mom, how do you know that? Does Lassie bark at colors?" asked the young boy.

"Well, when my brain is lazy, and I'm tired of trying to keep up, when I'm cranky, you know Timmy?" Mom picked up Timmy's hand. It felt as light as a leaf in her hand.

"Yes, Mom."

"And I want to rest but Lassie starts barking; I just want to scream. But you go out to her with your unlimited energy and curiosity?"

"Yes, Mommy." Timmy rolled her ring around and looked at her fingers.

"Do you always 'see' what Lassie is barking at?" Pointed out Mommy; "Lassie 'sees' odors in 3 dimension, and she recognizes 'sounds' that are too low for us to hear?"

"You mean she smells colors?" said Timmy, "and Lassie hears things we cannot see?"

"Yes, Timmy, precisely," said Mom with a huge smile on her face, beaming down on her little boy.

"Lassie can see Casper.... Mom, Casper isn't invisible," exclaimed Timmy, "Casper is really, really White!"

Casper -- part friend, part fraternal sibling, part invisible ghost of something missing in our lives: Many believe they are abandoned by their paternal parent because they have been brain washed in mass media to think so. True or False?

Post Script: Trouble with defining Morals? HERE also is some help -- SQUEETUS Blog

Let me give you an example of what a moral is, as I learned in a college creative class. In each episode of the old TV show, “Lassie,” Timmy would get into some kind of trouble, Lassie would save the day, and back in the family kitchen, Mom or Dad would sit Timmy down and tell him what he needed to learn from the events. “You see, Timmy,...
