Okay, Texas. You and I need to have a talk.
Having a Jesus fish on the back of your car is not going to prevent your car from crashing into mine by the power of faith. It will not protect you. When you scare the shit out of me by jumping into my lane, into a space that is not big enough for your car, you could signal or warn me or, i dunno, check your blind spot.

I think if I were that bad a driver I wouldn't want to advertise for my religion on my car in case it was giving others of my creed a bad reputation.

Just something to consider.
(Oh, yeah, and don't smoke crack and drive. It pisses off the rest of us who have to keep you from killing us.)

I know some people who can be angry about little things for hours. And I know people who just don't bother getting angry anymore. I guess it's good to be in the middle on this one, comfortably in between simmering rage and ennui as approaches to challenging situations. Of course if I actually lived here in the middle of the bell curve, I wouldn't find it necessary to comment.

So here's the plan. Defeat the current order of the world by changing human interactive systems to make entropy work for that system instead of against it. Living beings are very complicated systems, and the only way they continue functioning is by balancing between order and disorder. Enzyme reaction and diffusion are the biological equivalents of entropy, they cause nutrients to spread out through the bloodstream and become more usefully disordered, more uniformly chaotic. All human organizational systems are built to suppress chaos, and never make any use of it. (with the notable exception of viral marketing)

So if there are two great forces to be utilized, why does one always get the shaft? Dichotomy as a paradigm is overused. Male and female, day and night: how can things be thought of as opposites when they have so much in common? I think mental polyamory may be about the ability to embrace diversity for it's own sake, because denying yourself the opportunity to love half of an entire set of things is self-limiting. People are used to choosing between things, not taking both. But when you can have both, why not?

Riddle me this: how many diverse things do you love?
