Yeah, good play, Henry.
For my taste there's slightly too much moralistic claptrap on the
p-list and it doesn't necessarily all emanate from one person. We are
all already well informed of the stink of humanity. We don't need to
demonstrate this knowledge to each other. We might have had to do so
once, to our parents, home after a few years of higher eduation. But that
was then and this is now. Now I prefer to revel in our survival--in spite
of the corruption.
