“Sold as the armed wing of society – as the upholder of civilization itself – the state, in the name of combating terrorism, acts like that terrible friend who, finding someone at their lowest, encourages them to take a turn for the worst. A more rational society would be content with the threats that already exist – it wouldn’t need to breed them; a more empathetic society would view someone pondering a turn to terrorism as a threat, yes, but one that could be eliminated with a helping hand and reintegration into a society from which they feel alienated, not with a security bureaucracy and system of mass incarceration that profits only when they take the plunge, destroying their life before they can legally drink a beer.” – Charles Davis http://ift.tt/1BzC60u

So am reading some Hyginus, which, in terms of manuscript history, is basically like the Wikipedia:Masters of the Universe of the ancient world.

Good. Why wait? Just go ahead and quit now. #DoIt #DoooooooIiiiiiiiiiit
