Analysis of You, The Law, And The Perversity of Inanimate Object--A Deep Philosophical Observation
You, The Law, and The Perversity of Inanimate Objects---A Deep Philosophical Observation
by
Wayne Johnson
If a tree falls on you in the middle of the forest, does it make a sound? I'm sure it does as
one can extrapolate and interpolate from the trillions of instances where some kind of
physical phenomena produced a disturbance and compressed air outward and impacted our
inner ear structure and sent signals to our brain to represent a sound. I'm sure it would sound something like this:
!dependingonthehardnessofthegroundandmaybeamuffledscream. The next questions we
might ask are is this a perversion and does it violate the Law, which law and what is our
recourse in such a case? The answers we get depend on the questions we ask (and such
saying may be a perversion, violate the Law, and involve you or someone like you (which
lot of us are). You ain't gettin' no answer outta me, Jake!
