Re: An aphorism

The tragedy of health care reform is its affirmation of the wealthy's pervasive, unshakable fear that others only love them as merely a means of obtaining affordable health care and in no case for who they really are. Ergo totalitarianism.

The tragedy of aphorisms is their pervasive lack of access to health care insurance.

The tragedy of the common is their innate inferiority.

The common repeat themselves: the first time as banality; the second time just as trite.

The tragedy of the wealthy is that despite all of their wealth, it's still illegal for them to sleep with me for money.

The tragedy of the common is that they mismanage their shared inferiority.

The tragedy of tragedy is that nobody laughs at it.

After an unexpected viral event recently, I am now being followed by a bunch of new people on Twitter. One of the new arrivals follows me, Ty/ler Cow/en, Neil Patrick Harris, and about 20 people who work in the porn industry.

Maybe they're waiting to see if you tweet about any doctor visits.

The rich fear that they are not loved. The rich fear that they are not to be loved. The rich fear aphorisms.
