...and suddenly, it all made sense.

  I think that is an unrelated coincidence.

But what better reason for the book to exist than a seemingly inexplicable and concurrent desire of two unconnected individuals? It must be something prophetic.

It doesn't exist, though, because it's just two people completely fucking up the language.

I get it, ok?




I prefer "Jack of all trades, Master of none," myself.

After all, I thought humans weren't supposed to specialize.

Old board almost-drama.  That which is past, is past.  Let the dead stay dead.

Ah. I thought I was on unread posts since last visit when I clicked. Now I see it's 2 years old. My bad.

No one tells me anything.  I'm not one of the "In" kids.

Quote from Heinlein.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

-Robert A. Heinlein

Heinlein was kind of a tool, as evidenced by the part about "dying gallantly". Only a tool thinks that's a good idea.
