Amoeba World
    I was just sitting here, thinking about the painting I started last night, when Amoeba came to mind. Amoeba, you ask? Yes. Why they came to mind I couldn't tell you.

     Do Amoeba have any sort of a government? Is it Capitalism or Democracy? Do they have a "nuclear" Amoeba family? The kind with a mom, dad, 2.2 kids and a dog? Do they watch Monday night football with the Dallas Amoebas versus the Amoeba Vikings?  Do Amoeba mothers cook dinner every night for their family? Do Amoeba kids clean their room when they are told? Do they nag about taking driver's ed? Does Fido Amoeba bug everyone when it's his dinnertime? Does he fetch a bone or a ball when it's thrown? Does the toilet ever overflow in Amoeba World? Do they get Amoeba vision on their TV sets? Do Amoeba kids get yelled at when they stick their nucleus out the car window while dad is driving?

     Do they worry about peer pressure, teen pregnancy, and teen suicide? Do they ever worry if they will even live to see tomorrow? Is a nuclear explosion even in their minds? Do they ever wonder about if they made the right choices? Do they worry about college funding for their kids or about social security in their future? 

     Amoeba don't even have eyes.
