Robert Anton Wilson again: What the alpha males had forgotten was that the science of weaponry had already evolved to the point where even a small minority of angry, rage-filled people could blow the whole planet to hell. Even if they had understood this, it is doubtful that the alpha males would have tried to create a world in which it was impossible for anybody to get that angry. Such a goal would have seemed Utopian to them. They could not guess that it was actually a necessity on any advanced technological planet. Reading en route to work continues to be the knees of a bee. At the current rate, I should be able to finish a couple of books per term just in the time it takes me to walk to school and back. That is awesome (and environmentally friendly!).
