Pikes, you've missed your calling. But of course its not too late to make a career in rap, since you will be out of a job soon.

 

What did you say to make them descend on you?

 

 

Thanks, Pikes. I've read your answers. What a waste! I sometimes wonder how we cope with waste. Perhaps the way we cope with death, but waste could be avoided, and that may make it even more harrowing than death.

I'll never understand people who want to kill creativity. Was originality beaten out of them when they were young and mentally defenseless? What is that method in psychology called? "Aversion therapy"? You know, what they did to that psychopath in "A Clockwork Orange" by drumming Beethoven's Ninth into his ears for hours. It's hard to accept that that many people (the ubiquitous ones who seek to stamp out creativity) are all just stupid.
