Ron Swanson's Effect On Society

Ron Swanson is a character on the TV show Parks and Recreation. His character is society's ultimate man. He loves red meat, fixing things and being left alone. The irony in the show is that he's a higher up government employee that hates the government and it's involvement in peoples' lives. The best part is that the actor playing Ron Swanson, Nick Offerman, is not too far from the real thing. Nick Offerman is a "fine woodworker" that spends countless hours in his wood shop making canoes, tables and other custom pieces.

I'd say society is better off having been touched by the Swanson. Ron makes it clear that he doesn't care about most things or most people. His best friends are those that he doesn't have to speak with. Does this mean he really doesn't care? Since much of society is filled with fluff and nonsensical banter, I'd say that he simply chooses not to participate.

After in-depth research and multiple surveys, here are some ways Ron Swanson has benefited society.

• The mustache is cool again.
• Red meat consumption in women has increased. Anemia doesn't stand a chance.
• Someone finally wrote a book that containing nothing but," Be a man."
• There's an added respect for shetland ponies.
• Meetings can officially start with," Shut up and listen to me."
• Answers to some of life's simplest questions have been gathered within a simple geometric shape.
