You, The Law, And The Perversity of Inanimate Object--A Deep Philosophical Observation



You, The Law, and The Perversity of Inanimate Objects---A Deep Philosophical Observation
                                               by
                       Wayne Johnson

If a tree falls on you in the middle of the forest, does it make a sound? I'm sure it does as

one can extrapolate and interpolate from the trillions of instances where some kind of

physical phenomena produced a disturbance and compressed air outward and impacted our

inner ear structure and sent signals to our brain to represent a sound. I'm sure it would sound something like this:

kuhrrrrrrraaaaaacksquealgrindthumpcrashandmaybeskrsssssplaaaat

!dependingonthehardnessofthegroundandmaybeamuffledscream. The next questions we

might ask are is this a perversion and does it violate the Law, which law and what is our

recourse in such a case? The answers we get depend on the questions we ask (and such

saying may be a perversion, violate the Law, and involve you or someone like you (which

lot of us are). You ain't gettin' no answer outta me, Jake!
