VLVL2(3): The Samurai Condition

[Dave Monroe]

And cf. ...

   "Hey, all right fuckhead, try this--you are goin to
have to die?  Yeah-heh-heh, remember that?  Death!
after all them years of noncomformist shit, you're
gonna end up just like everybody else anyway!'" (VL,
Ch. 3, p. 32)

"Death is the great equalizer"--who the hell first
said that?  And, no, it wasn't WS's Hamlet ...

"Then know's 't's common; all that lives must die/
Passing through nature to eternity" (Hamlet,
I.ii.72-3)
