The following flow chart, sent to me by a correspondent, is just noe of the best ever made, it also can serve as a paradigm of the evolution of the current American political scene.


The best flow chart ever

Never seen a Flow Chart described so clearly.

When top level guys look down, they see only shitheads;
When bottom level guys look up, they see only assholes…

Where is the social evolution?

Evolution , in living organisms, starts with a(n) (inheritable) difference upon which the forces of natural selection can play.

In the flow chart we see the difference between top and bottom.
It would seem that this difference could evolve or, perhaps has already evolved, into two groups, i.e. assholes and shitheads.  And it seems to me, based on the relentless force of natural selection (to be explained below), the differences between the groups are widening with the eventuality of separating into two distinct species.

It must be taken into consideration that there is a societal aversion to prurience and offensive language: therefore, it is no great stretch of imagination to have predicted that there would eventually evolve more socially acceptable synonyms for these very appropriate and descriptive but offensive terms.  And, as predicted from evolutionary theory – with this natural selection force at work, new names evolved:  Conservative (Republicans) for Assholes and Liberal/Progressive (Democrats) for Shitheads.

What is left is to understand or identify is the natural selection force(s) that is(are) leading to the greater separation of the two social groups.

Close examination of the available data reveal that the discriminating  natural selection force consists of a complex involving four distinct but, inexorably intertwined social structures that is made even more complex by the superimposition of a social phenomenon, religion.

The components of the complex are the candidates, the media, the electorate and the election process.

The candidates are the primary source of the feces.  The media not only adds to the quantity of the feces but also its execrable, odious quality and, in addition, is responsible for its dissemination, while the electorate is the recipient of the excrement.

How those who make up the electorate react to the guano – some of which is recycled coprolite – is where religion enters the equation,  There are those who claim, with malice aforethought, that the percent of electorates who vote right have been intelligently designed while those who have the ability to sift the detritus use what is left, disdainfully scorn the intelligent designer in favor of  having a more highly evolved brain capable of uniting Darwin-Wallace thought with Lamarckian concepts as social evolution tries to advance.

Thus, the above flow chart is a paradigm of the social evolution of the current status of the American political climate.

Predicting the outcome of this struggle between the Assholes and the Shitheads is beyond the range of modern revelation and crystal ball gazing.

To paraphrase The Shadow”  Who Knows What social Eeeeviloooooshun lurks in the society of humankind?  Only the Shadow knows
