Behold the last man!

He’s an old friend, please give a warm welcome to Vice Deputy Assistant Condom Enforcement Officer!  “Last week, [Los Angeles] lawmakers voted unanimously to draft an ordinance that would require condoms to be used on the set of every pornographic movie made here.”  The Nanny State can impart an eat-your-vegetables mood even to orgies.

“Alas! There cometh the time when man will no longer give birth to any star. Alas! There cometh the time of the most despicable man, who can no longer despise himself.

Lo! I show you the last man.

“What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?”- so asketh the last man and blinketh.   The earth hath then become small, and on it there hoppeth the last man who maketh everything small. His species is ineradicable like that of the ground-flea; the last man liveth longest.  “We have discovered happiness”- say the last men, and blink thereby…

They have their little pleasures for the day, and their little pleasures for the night, but they have a regard for health.  “We have discovered happiness,”- say the last men, and blink thereby.”

Indeed.  If I were a heathen
