The world abounds with anonymouses (the plural, my own spelling) and associations of anonymouses. Here are some exmples of the latter you may or may not be aware of:
Alcoholics Anonymous
Debtors Anonymous
Sexaholics Anonymous
Families Anonymous
Nicotine Anonymous
Gamblers Anonymous
Overeaters Anonymous
Marijuana Anonymous
Cocaine Anonymous
Emotions Anonymous
Recovering Couples Anonymous
Workaholics Anonymous
Parents Anonymous
Depressed Anonymous
Clutterers Anonymous
I could go on and on as far as the ooooooooooo in Google would allow. Of course, there's also that person Anonymous attributed with all those witty sayings, such as:
A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it.
A magician pulls rabbits out of hats. An experimental psychologist pulls habits out of rats.
Discretion is the better part of valor.
Yeah, they all pretty much suck, which very well could explain why this person did not take any credit for these less than inspired and altogether unwitty witticisms.
In conclusion, what have we learned from anonymous? Pretty much zip. Except for the fact that you can organize some like-minded anonymouses around pretty much anything and say whatever you damn well please because no one will know it's you and I guess that can be appealing at the end of the day if you're into being invisible.
The real question at the bottom of this and which I heard on one of those nerd public radio programs is this:
If you had one super power to choose that you, and you alone, would possess, would it be invisibility or the ability to fly?
ability to fly, because they you can still make yourself invisible.
