ON SUBSERVIENCE
************************************
Subservience means
fear of habitual and compulsive liars
who pretend to know better.
*
This is as true of subservience
to sultans and Stalin as it is
of our own bosses, bishops and benefactors.
*
As for fear of God:
that’s a contradiction in terms.
There is not and cannot be such a thing
as fear of God;
only fear of the Devil.

“He was a man of vision, a great patriot,
sincere in his commitments to ideals?”
So were Hitler, Mussolini, and Mustapha Kemal Ataturk.

A STORY WITH A HAPPY ENDING
*******************************************
When asked to name his favorite role model,
one of our intellectuals
(let’s call him Comrade Panchoonie)
named one of our benefactors
(let’s call him Jack S. Avanakian)
and was – I assume -- amply rewarded.

JUST A GUESS
**************************
I wouldn’t be surprised if they said:
“Let’s do to our Armenians
what the Americans did to their Indians.”
But I would be surprised
if one of our revolutionaries said:
“What if they do to us
what Americans did to their Indians?”

Re: alpha males

There are victims and there are victimizers. Armenians have been victims, or so we like to say, repeat, and believe. But Armenians have also been victimizers. All you have to do to see Armenians as victimizers is to read a history of Armenian literature or the biography of an Armenian writer.
