I dunno if anyone else has noticed this, but there seems a growing vexation among certain of the primitives, a sense of exasperation and frustration that things aren't working the way the primitive wants them to work, rendering the primitive sputtering and inarticulate.
I've been watching three of them with particular interest, as they seem to be about to go over the edge.
Normally, a primitive presents no threat to society, other than in the sense of public health and sanitation, that the primitive willingly allows himself to be used by the blue-city and blue-state bosses to cast the primitive's vote six or seven times, and sucks money out of the taxpayers' pockets.
There is a great deal however to be said of the power of impotency; the sense of mindless rage that evolves out of one's anonymity, one's ineffectiveness, one's uselessness.
"Impotency" implies the inability to do something, and that is usually correct.
However, it can extend so far that it drives one to do something, anything, even if really stupid.
I think one of the primitives on Skins's island is about to crack; I dunno which one, and what that primitive'll do (other than that it'll be something really stupid and violent), and when it'll happen (other than "soon").
