[FRIAM] hot time in town tonight

[Marcus Daniels]

It seems to me totalitarianism could be a cause or an effect of the constituency of a society.   If we run the population through GZIP we arrive at an effective type count.   The redundant could seek out a totalitarian to get a `fix' of hope, and they may become so addicted they will accept any lie to keep it.

That's the quote you pulled? I much prefer this one: "She theorizes that drinking is, for what its worth, an instrument of adapting to the harsh reality and sense of worthlessness that would otherwise make one want to curl up and die." >8^D I'll mention that to my Oncologist the next time she gives me a hard time about my drinking.
