Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Green Revolution, baby.

Yay! I learned something new....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

There's no vendors I know about, no.

I'm so overwhelmed trying to plan the book release signing/reading thing at Vroman's, I can't even think about asking another human for another favor.

It's not a favor. The bookseller would be making money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I guess they also must just be thinking it's not wrong to do. It's against the rules but not wrong.

Like counting cards in a casino!

There aren't any booksellers that I know of.

Punishingly Intricate

Exactly. That would be really easy for someone with that ability to rationalize. Especially if they thought that everybody they were competing against was also counting cards.

Hee. That just happened in an ep of Bones I watched the other night.

Here's the difference, though, at least to me -- you're playing against the casino (which makes the rules against counting). You're not racing against the cycling federation (which makes the rules against doping).

Really? Craxier than the "His wife? A horse." guy? Why yes, I was amusing myself with F_W wiki last night, why?

Borlaug's success in feeding the world testifies to the difference a single person can make.

I think he was part of one of Penn and Teller's Bullshit! shows.
