It's Coming For Us

 Domestication of our feline friends only provides a veneer of civilization.  Take away Dick, Jane and the milk-bowl and Tabby will turn wild and live off the land.  Mice, birds, and rabbits.  There is not much genetic distinction between a house cat and bob cat.  Domestication might make them lazy, but underneath it all, they could switch back.

Not so dogs.  Domesticated dogs couldn't live for shit in the wild.  My daughters have something called a bichon frise.   Those things would be gobbled up by the first predator they encountered.  They have been specifically bred to be ineffectual, hypoallergenic, and probably not that all that good tasting.

What about humans?  What changes hath domestication wrought?   Are we all now merely nothing but a natural abomination like a bichon?

If not now, its only a matter of time.   Its coming for us.

From the opulence/squalor of Russia, China, Africa, the Middle East and any other places where billionaires are unfettered by Democratic decency, Weber's Protestant Ethic, or a local Rotary Club, the poor girl has been genetically modified to satisfy the tyrants whim.  There is nothing that the highly paid surgeon cannot accomplish.

Her brother, now a shadow of his former self has been modified to erase any traces of domesticity.  He knows only one thing:  to hunt and kill, with lightning reflexes and superhuman strength with blind obeisance to his new master.

Gusts of wind tear snow from the pines descending around the arriving aristocracy to the new castle on the hill.  

Leg of Jake at Kirkwood brewery after chicago attorney takes all day at friday deposition, then more traveling and more boring chicago attorneys at late night rockford deposition.   Have you tried the new EEG app?  I have the highest concentration in the world don't you know?  I can prove it in the game center if I don't keep breaking my iphone 6 screen.  I need some more bulletproof coffee.  Whatever happened to Franciscotti?  Evidently selling Nootropics made in China.  Smart drug smarts.
