 What Do We Call It?  (3 ratings)by Benjamin Tepolt Page 3 of 3 "Yes, Raggar," stated Yoodash, "We have come a long way and our only worries
today are particular diseases and keeping ourselves happy and entertained
through technology, drugs, art, sex, love, theater, music, and the other
various fields of joy. We digress from the issue... I do believe, though, that
the dogmatic Monogamy so deeply held by our ancestors will resurface in these
inmates. How will they keep order, though? Afterall, many of the prisoners in
today's prisons have a high record for stabbing and attacking people, even
while in prison. Imagine how high the death record will tally when they're out
of the confines of the law and the protection of guards!"
"Well," began Rectog, "I am sure that being primitive beasts and brutes, they will return back to their roots. And through this, I am sure that silly superstitions will become religion and brutish tribes will become governments. With religion and government controling the people, I feel that the need for guards will be unnecessary." "And what of the select intelligent who doubt the concept of an invisible man in the sky? Or the few bold who will question the motives of government? What of those beings?" asked Yarsisus. "They are few and far between," said Rogala, "I think that we will rarely encounter any Atheists in this isolated area. Perhaps it would be better if this new prison was on another planet. After all, no matter how big an area we give to these convicts, they may just find an escape. So, we shall imprison them on a planet." "I agree, but what do we call it?" asked Yabaf. Raggar spoke up, "...How about Earth?"
