everybody has a wine club...
martha wants to send my "personalized selections" straight to my door...
the ever opportunistic macy's wants a piece of that...
the wall street journal not only wants to send fine wine to my door...
they want it out on the patio or deck as well...shouldn't limit outselves...think outside the wine box...
and they have utilized their journalisitic competitors subscription list to send me vouchers in the folds of the sunday edition...they are serious...so is the times...
they have a wine club too...why not? it's a media corporation after all and they need to diversify like everyone else...money is money...get it where you can..that's what the consequentialism says...
and lately thsy have taken to using their wine critic's column to begin equating wine with relief...encouraging readers to embrace the numb and find solace in imported bottles for less than twenty bucks a pop...a deal for peace of mind that isn't a prescribed substance ( except by the times ) from big pharma...
and they are prepared to offer you choices...be aware that you are the one making them...alcohol is a pharmakon...it can, i suppose, be beneficial in small quantities to some people...for others it becomes poisonous in very real terms and at twenty bucks a bottle the necessary dosages would be financially ruinous for most ( but not the times )...been down that road...came back...not going that way again...martha, macy's, the wall stret journal, the new york times...all begin to resemble pushers to me...fuck these people.
