History Lesson: Beer & the Wheel

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel.

Beer required grain, and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.

The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.

These two were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

Liberals and Conservatives.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some of these liberal men evolved into women. Others became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy Liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives provided.

Glad you did. I got a chuckle out of it, especially this last part.

Indeed. There has always been some of that, but here in the US it seems
like that has just recently exploded exponentially, along with "be whatever gender you feel like."

Its a hate-crime in Canada and/or serious consequences to correct the latter.

Four more years of dementia and cackles and I am sure it will be here as

That incident happened decades ago when he was in college and he went as one
of the old Blackface singers as a costume at Halloween or something. At the time it was probably not considered racist, more a copy of what Al Jolson was doing at one time but, like a lot of things, if you look at them many years later when attitudes have changed, acceptable things may not be that so much anymore.

It made me think of an old Murdoch Mysteries show where someone referred to
a person as being retarded (was actually autistic). Someone else said that
it wasn't polite to call them that anymore, they should be called Morons..

This was supposedly the acceptable norm circa 1924. Personally I always
thought with truly damaged 'slow' people that retarded was the most correctly descriptive term for their condition, but that has moved through several evolutions through terms like 'slow' to currently be 'special' if I am up
to date. That's fine, whatever they want, but it's a bit misleading when
you don't know in which direction a person might be 'special'.

Goodness, since moron has a specific definition with a low IQ level
attached, I would think that retarded would have been less offensive. :)

I think you are up to date. I also agree it is misleading. I guess it is
best to be safe and not draw any assumptions until you have met the
'special' person in question.

Hmm, "President Moron" has a ring to it but to be accurate it'd have to be "President Senile".
