Hank's Tumblr: Condescension →
edwardspoonhands:
So I got a couple of comments and one very angry email (from an anonymous person) saying that my treatment of small town America in this post was somewhat condescending / judgmental and I wanted to quickly address that.
My tone probably could have been more proper, and I’ve edited it a bit now…

edwardspoonhands:
I just want to write down this story to ensure that I never forget it.
Yesterday, Charlie, Michael, Katherine, and I went on a hike in the Bitterroot Valley. This is about an hour south of Missoula, where Montana goes from being a semi-metropolitan, liberal college town, to a collection of…

Being a nerd means staying up late to wait for an announcement from Team Starkid or One Direction or to see the newest Hunger Games movie. Or staying up all night just to get a Harry Potter book or the most recent video game. Or squealing at your computer because of an…

I want to know you
Sometimes people surpirse me, acctually people surpirse me a lot. About something they like, or something they think, or something I find they said or thought about on the internet, that I didn’t know. And it makes me wonder, how much do we really know about people? We like to think we know our friends well, but really we hardly know anything at all. I want to know more, I love knowing. I...

Government through COWs
Socialism: You have 2 cows and you give one to your neighbour.
Communism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and gives you some milk.
Fascism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and sells you some milk.
Nazism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and shoots you.
Bureaucratism: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away..
Traditional Capitalism: You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a bull. You herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
An American Corporation: You have 2 cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow dropped dead.
A French Corporation: You have 2 cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
Japanese Corporation: You have 2 cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called Cowkimon and market them Worldwide.
An Italian Corporation: You have 2 cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.
A Swiss Corporation: You have 5000 cows. None of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
Chinese Corporation: You have 2 cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.
An Iraqi Corporation: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No one believes you and they bomb your arse. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy.......
Counter Culture: 'Wow, dig it, like there's these 2 cows, man, grazing in the hemp field. You gotta have some of this milk!'
Surrealism: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.
Fatalist: You have 2 doomed cows...
A West-Country Corporation: You have 2 cows. That one on the left is kinda cute.
A Brazilian Corporation: You have 2 cows. You pay taxes for 6 cows. You have to sell one cow in order to pay the taxes. Your remaining cow gets sick and dies while waiting for availability in the public vet hospital.
Moffat: You have two cows. Both of them are your daughters time travelling from the past where they had a brief love affair with Da Vinci making you the rightful Queen of England.
An Irish Corporation: You have a million cows because they're @#!*% everywhere
Tumblr: You have 2 cows. You ship them together and make GIF posts screaming about how much you love your cows, but they should stop existing because they are so perfect.

Like I don’t know if the GONE series is better than the Hunger Games, I haven’t read it so it could be?
But I don’t know, that’s a really obnoxious and cheap way to sell your book and I can’t imagine any self-respecting author giving that the OK
Like you won’t see Maureen Johnson putting “BETTER THAN THE FAULT IN OUR STARS” on her next Shades Of London novel
actually no, wait,...
