Things at home were going pretty smooth, but I had a feeling something was about to change for the worse. I live in a very large home, with many brothers and sisters. We have the latest in techno- gadgets, including a large screen TV. Our home recreation equipment is top-notch, and we can use it for free.
There is some discipline here, but there are also many ways to get around the rules and regulations of the house. For the right price, or a special favor, you can get almost anything you want. Drugs, sex, booze, and gambling, are part of our everyday life in this big house. There is ample food, free medical care, and many free forms of entertainment to help pass the time. If you are so inclined, you can be educated, or learn a trade. In short, we have it made!
I figure that this type of lifestyle on the outside, would cost a bundle. Worse yet, there would be taxes to pay, and I would have to work for what I now receive for free. (what a drag) If I do get depressed once in a while, there are professionals here who remind me of my wretched childhood, and the terrible environmental conditions that made "poor little me" turn bad. (and unfit for society)
My biggest fear is that I might be granted parole, and forced to work full time on the outside. I see no reason that I should not qualify for welfare, if I am forced from my present home. After all, this is America! You people OWE me a living, and a nice place to live.
While I was watching the SEX & BOOZE channel the other night, some bozo switched to a NEWS channel, The reporter was talking about the restoration of corporal punishment, chain-gangs, and no-frills prisons, This really scares me! What is the nation coming to? Is there no respect, or love, left in this world? Just maybe, I will check into that parole option after all...
