Of Posts and Poles (And Power)

The love of pointless posts is quite the pastime here on Soybean Island. It is not at all unusual to find a post for post's sake:

Yes.

And here is a post posing as a bird house:

Knowing the mindset--or lack thereof--of the locals, no doubt they found it beyond their abilities to provide an entrance and egress for the bird that's supposed to reside within said birdhouse . . . It is a matter of control, you see. It would not surprise me to find a building with no windows and no doors in one of the meager towns here. No. Not at all.

But, back to pointless posts: Here is a multiple concoction--no doubt triply pleasing to the viewing public!

And here is a post with some fencing--quite intoxicating--as it holds back some misguided or misbehaving brush:

And here is a absolutely wonderful example of a post expressing the inner-soul of Soybean Island itself:

Fantastic!

Of course not all posts and certainly not all poles are indeed pointless.

No, some exude a quiet useful provenance.

Yow! White posts to hold up an impenetrable building and poles to hold up a fence resplendent with barbwire to keep humans out from the impenetrable building . . . And look! Some military-grade vehicle behind the barbed fencing. I shudder to think what goes on inside that windowless (and doorless?) structure . . .


Some posts and poles are purposeful for power:

While other posts and poles are put together and erected for the Powers-That-Be:

Yes, posts and poles are popular and powerful and presage the precipitous drop in privacy and preview the preoccupation of the average person here on this predatory island . . . please pardon me.
