Good. I've sent a request to the Myrtle Beach Water Authority to
"de-collectivize" your water into individual protons, neutrons and
electrons. Since their value is in their Randian isolation, I'm sure
they'll quench your thirst better than that blasted evil Marxist collective
"water". Those protons that refuse to "de-collectivize" will be forced to
listen to the EIB network until they recant. Damn commie protons.

Is that an sly insult? Coming from a (gasp!) "conservative"? Or just an
admission of defeat?
Arlo (who is enjoying an even better Pirsigian evolutionary collective
known as "stout"... which he can assure you tastes a hell of a lot better
than individual Randian protons.)
