Which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?

The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.

I suppose I'd have to say that my favourite author is Homer. After Homer's Ilaid, I'd name The Odyssey, and then I'd mention a number of plays of Euripides.

A crowd of grade-three thinkers, all shouting the same thing, all warming their hands at the fire of their own prejudices, will not thank you for pointing out the contradictions in their beliefs. Man is a gregarious animal, and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill.

Honestly, I haven't the time to read contemporary writers. I know this is awful, but in the main it is true.

How would I myself live in this proposed society? How long would it be before I went stark staring mad?

We did everything adults would do. What went wrong?
