Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Minearverse. Political Economy. Ferrets.
Typo Boy: Heinlein makes it clear that business (and family) are the source of all that is good in the worlds; politics is a dirty business that may be neccesary, but should never be encouraged. It is an idea that I consider insane, but I think it is too much at the core of what makes Moon a great book to change.
Ferret Liberation Osomething: We always saw it as the power of the individual over group mentality with a bias towards meritocracy (with admittedly Mary Sue/Stus galore), but we were impressionable kits at the time and may need to go back and revisit the book once we finish 'How to Be Evil Overlords for Fun & Profit'. We admit a certain bias towards taking over from an existing heirarchy. Also - throwing large rocks! How cool is throwing large rocks from space!
Amych: TB, you realize you're arguing political economy with a pack of ferrets bent on world domination, yes?
FLO: We're fixed. Leave us to our simple pleasures.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ayn Rand could DANCE like a motherfucker.

Can you build a Death Ray with a vibrator? We've always wanted a Death Ray.

I'm pretty sure you can make a Little Death Ray with one.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And because the Minearverse is big with the zing tonight:
Tim: Joss?
DX: Big guy, pretty clever, shame about the montages.

Our wings are not tired.
Weeping because I am so far behing in the Minearverse thread.

Theodosia: (Knox -- why you should pay attention to what your kids read....)
True even without context, snerkity with.

Jesse: What really fascinates me is that there are actual preppies still in the wild. I mean, plaid pants and whales and the whole nine yards, unironically worn by actual rich people.
Holli: We have some genuine preps at my school, too-- I mean, above and beyond the fratboys in khakis. I have a class with a girl whose entire wardrobe seems to be made up of mint green and pink, and she always has a ribbon in her hair. Unironically.
tommyrot: It would be sad to be an unironic hair ribbon.
