I received a letter in the mail today from AARP. On the outside in red, all cap, sans serif, heavy block letters was the word REMINDER. My mind wandered back in its creative nether regions and came up with a scenario where a similar letter could be received by a citizen of some future society. Of course, the return address would not indicate which agency had sent the letter, but inside the letter might read something like this:

REMINDER: Your subscription to citizenship in the Kingdom of Calneva is due to expire in 90 days. You immediate attention to this matter is of utmost importance. Failure on your part to submit the required form and proper remittance as a citizen in good standing will result in a court directed order for apprehension and immediate withdrawal of all rights of subscribed citizenship. Please fill out the enclosed form, attach an government authorized account debit form, insert said documents in the enclosed envelope, and return within 60 days to ensure sufficient time for processing. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Long live His Royal Highness Donald Trump VII

Can you imagine the U.S. being divided up into little countries ruled by the super rich? Can you imagine having to purchase your citizenship on an annual basis? Can you imagine a president and a select group of politicians and military officials doing away with the Constitution and murdering citizens who protest such actions?

It's surprising the number of things you can imagine out of receiving in the mail a little, white envelope, with red letters on it.

Still riding the wave.
