“You can trust me!” said The Wolf.
“I represent a large corporation. Corporations are your friend!” said The Wolf.
Uncle Boris was among the early organizers of the UMOOGM, “The United Monkeyhood Of Organ Grinder Monkeys.
It was a long, harsh and sometimes violent battle for monkeys to receive decent wages, healthcare, vacations and pensions.
But now there are some in government who believe (or are payed by corporate interests to believe) that legalizing a lack of rights for workers is good for the American economy.
And so Uncle Boris lost his job to a non-union rat.
Uncle Boris doesn’t blame the rat. The rat is trying to make a living too, though the rat earns much less than Uncle Boris did at the same job. And the rat receives no healthcare or other benefits.
If the rat gets sick and dies the organ grinder can always find another rat struggling to survive who will take the job.
“An injury to one is an injury to all,” says Uncle Boris.
“Has the revolution started yet?” asks The Monkey.

The other day The Monkey posted the following post:
A Question For You From The Monkey
The Monkey received no comments or emails.
The Monkey will continue to be The Monkey.
The Monkey will keep “Voice Of The Monkey” as a website for now.
Perhaps in the future The Monkey will switch “Voice Of The Monkey” to Tumblr or another microblogging format.
Dear Friends of The Monkey,
The Monkey has a question for you.
The Monkey has a small group of loyal friends. Or maybe The Monkey has a loyal group of small friends?
The Monkey mirrors posts on “Voice of The Monkey” to the following places:
The Voice Of The Monkey on Facebook
The Monkey Is Your Friend! on Tumblr
Keeping “Voice Of The Monkey” as a website costs The Monkey very little money, maybe the price of a dozen bunches of bananas a year. The Monkey can easily afford to keep “Voice Of The Monkey” up and running.
The Google ads you see have made The Monkey no money and they remain because sometimes the ads that come up in relation to the posts make The Monkey laugh.
The Monkey likes to laugh!
“Ha, ha, ha!” says The Monkey.
Another ad network thought “Voice Of The Monkey was not of interest to them because they couldn’t figure out what type of ads would be appropriate here.
Perhaps they don’t realize that “Voice Of The Monkey” is prime real estate for advertising the following:
Bananas
Cymbals
Anything On Parade
Anything That Shows It’s A Beautiful World
Anything that has anything to do with Uncle Boris
Religious and Spiritual Pluralism
Etc. Etc. So On And So Forth
But The Monkey digresses.
Do you think the “Voice Of The Monkey” website is redundant and unnecessary?
Should The Monkey let the site go and just post on Facebook and Tumblr?
The Monkey Is Your Friend! The Monkey won’t go away even if you wish The Monkey would go away.
The Monkey is just thinking of a change of formats. If The Monkey knew about Tumblr earlier that might have been The Monkey’s first choice for ranting and raving.
The Monkey will not stop posting. The Monkey can’t help but post; that is how all of this started in the first place!
Please let The Monkey know what you think.
Your friend,
The Monkey, who is your friend
P.S. If you made it this far you might like to see some penguins.
“The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy: the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and applause of other men! A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in somebody else’s imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could at last become real!”
