a few bits from John Scalzi’s Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded

(a collection of pieces from his “Whatever” website at https://whatever.scalzi.com/)

“They don’t really advertise that they kill people,” said marine reservist Stephen Funk, about why he refused to report for active duty. “I didn’t really realize the full implications of what I was doing.” Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 4/2/03

responding to that, Scalzi says “You have to be a really interesting sort of ignorant not to know that the Marines kill people from time to time. Your first hint: The big rifle so many of those Marines carry around. …” p177

Agreed.

“This is what you get when the President of the United States is a man who has a level of self-introspection that is best described as canine …” p355

Love it. (And he was talking about George W.Bush)
