That is what Sally said at the picnic.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Hard to find a pack these days that'll let you build for yourself rather than just follow instructions, seems about right.

But we grow up. We forget. We turn to IKEA as a crutch.

Interestingly, if I held a giant space-sack containing all the world's lego on a giant rapidly spinning cosmic crane arm in high orbit, the name of the product is exactly what I'd do.

Then, because I post on NS, I'd fire my 100,000 supernuclear weapons at it just before it got to safe distance.

If instructions weren't meant to be followed, they wouldn't be called instructions. We need instructions. We crave instructions.

I can only take this to mean that you've recently inherited one of the few remaining thrones of Europe and have adopted the Royal Plural with great gusto, as the alternative is a bit submissive for my liking.

So it is indeed.

It's just fun to joke on that, at least I see it that way. I assume that it's gone way past its expiry date by now, though.
