So, if your family had been on that plane, and you would have gone to
the hospital and killed the pilot as he lay in his hospital bed, and
then his family would have come after you, and yours would go after
his, and the next thing you know you have the end of civilization.

As I sit here this morning, staring at the monitor, typing on my
keyboard, trying to get enough caffeine in me to feel semi-human while
coming down with a cold that my daughter probably brought home from
school, I have to think that civilization is entirely overrated...

And as I sit here this morning, waiting to catch a plane to Manila
where I will have surgery for a hernia, I am almost inclined to agree.

Still, civilization has its advantages. Hernia surgery, I suppose, is
better than having some guy dressed in mask and feathers waving a stick
with a monkey's skull mounted on it over me.
