The Ten American Commandments

1) Thou shalt serve the Market thy God with all they money, all thy labor, and all thy vote. Yea, though thy children go hungry and thou dost waste away beneath the grindstone, thou shalt shake thy fist at government while thy High Priest drinks the blood of thy sacrifices.

2) Thou shalt eat terrible food while feeling terrible, and shalt proclaim that thou hast earned it whene'er a loving friend doth protest.

3) Thou shalt kill, frequently, at the whim of thy trigger finger or at the behest of the paranoia provided to thee by the Market thy God.

4) Thou shalt not elect women to positions of power unless they swear themselves to the Market thy God, and to the leadership of their husbands/fathers/brothers/sons.

5) Thou shalt hate and fear the different, the exceptional, and the new.

6) Honor thy father, mother, grandfathers, grandmothers, and ancestors unto the seventh generation. Thou shalt honor thy children until they reach the Age of Educated Opinions.

7) Though shalt treat thy community solely as a truncheon with which to enforce thy grandparents' morality, especially wielded against the sins of "equal treatment under the law" and "taking care of everyone".

8) Thou shalt not exercise, sleep, or change thy diet enough to actually improve thy health, but thou shalt blame government for thy lack of it.

9) Thou shalt not admit that anyone anywhere might have anything better than thee, whether quality of life or life expectancy or education. Thou art American, and therefore superior.

10) Thou shalt not break from the herd, even as thou proclaimest the herd to be the Father of Lies.
