Quote of the Day
Og and Billy have what amounts to a religious disagreement: Og figures we’re too evil to endure without external govenment and Billy figures if we are bad, then our institutions will be bad, too. Pared down to that, it appears we’re thermodynamically doomed: can’t win, can’t break even, can’t quit the game. Life is, however, a local, short-term reversal of entropy: we keep tryin’ stuff and in the long run, nobody is in charge of anything but themselves. Yeah, it’s more fluff. Turtles all the way down. Go outside, reverse some entropy and, damn you, smile. – Roberta X in a comment to her own post, Manners, Customs, Anarchy and Me
It would appear that she has the same problem with Billy Beck’s prickly personality that I do.
