This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Okay but among those people who choose to remain human, how many of us would be okay with donating blood every two weeks in exchange for food and rent?

Think about it. If the vampires have all the power, why would they kill their food source when the longer they let their food source live the more food they get out of it?

Let us tra-la-la and have happy-go-lucky existences, which will probably make our blood taste better to them, and they can spend their eternities competing for resources or whatever makes a vampire happy after the first 500 years.

I've been saying this since I was a kid. Every time I see a blood donation place. That's a vampire organization and you can't convince me otherwise :D

i'm always tempted to sing:

in the gloom of mighty cities,
'mid the roar of whirling wheels,
we are toiling on like chattle slaves of old
and our masters hope to keep us
ever, thus, beneath their heels
and to coin our very lifeblood into gold.

There's one already, where the vampire is a head of state and religius leader. (Luminous Valentine)
