Maybe this is relevant, maybe it isn't,
It is. That all makes a great deal of sense. I was thinking like the fat cracker that I am. All too easy to forget that what's a cool idea in decadenceville may elevate living standards for the many elsewhere.
You're not a fat cracker, you mucker. Just a bit chubby from the grease on the crackers
It is easy to forget though, but sometimes it is necessary to forget otherwise reality grounds people down too much to be able to come up with all those cool ideas that even I enjoy every now and then. I really, badly, want to be a cool LN'er one of these days. Of course, reading threads like these, I must come up against the reality that I may never know enough to be truly cool.
