Good and Evil

Saturday, September 15th, 2007
Dear Liz,
If Dick Cheney is Voldemort and Bill Clinton was the first black president, why is the color black associated with evil and would a vote for Hillary make me good?  And what is it with ‘good’ and ‘evil’ anyway?"

Hi Jeff,

We should hang out more.  Why aren’t we better friends?

I think most people are confused by good and evil.  Why are they at odds?  (in the Upanishads, they are at evens) White is traditionally the pinny color of good, and black is evil.  Why?

Macro Capture the flag (mCTF) is very similar to the kind you played in gym class.  Not identical.  When good and evil began playing mCTF, it was the colors that decided which side to play on.  (orangutans are orange)  It was totally mutual, actually, like friendster, both sides had to agree.

Wait, why aren’t we friendsters?  You’re a tough guy to get to know, Jeff.  Hey, Jeff.  Hey.  Can you get me another beer?

A lot of other stupid idiots (you’re not the only one) wonder how come everything in life fights and argues.  It’s all one big, complicated game of CTF. 

Capture the flag is in our DNA.  It’s in our Mitochondrial DNA.  It’s in the DNA of the Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich you are eating.  My pinny is orange.  I can’t wait for gatorade and orange slices.

What’s a Voldemort,
-me

P.S. Voting can’t make anyone good.  But, voting can grow hair on your chest and make you grow bold.
