A Galactic Vacation

A couple from Planet rE32x, wanting an exotic vacation, decided to visit the primitive life forms on the planet Earth. "It was fascinating," they reported, "to witness such strange behavior. "The entire Earthling culture is a contest for power and control. This is so important that actual adult careers, professional careers, are based on playing juvenile games. Participants in these contests are routinely paid much more than they pay their children's teachers! No wonder Earthlings remained so primitive. "Even the pleasure of sex has been turned into a struggle for power and control. "Sex is not considered natural. They have a concept called 'sin,' which is difficult to understand. It's different from Evil. It seems to have to do with inappropriate sexual pleasure. We found it all very confusing at the Museum of Sin. What we did get is that sex and violence happen together often, another feature of primitive behavior. "Earth is not a pretty planet but apparently was before it became a desert. The primitive life forms that remain are protected but can be observed in their natural desert surroundings. "Our vacation package was for a week but this is too long. It only takes a few days to see how irrational behavior was before evolutionary progress reached civilization. And after a few days the pervasive color of brown gets boring and a little depressing."
