Ahahhah ahhh. I love your fast-food philosopher's take on the state of the union. Does this mean France is going to purgatory because they serve mayo with their Mcfries?

I his eyes? They're probably scum of the Earth, because they weren't with us, so they're against us. But I could be completely off the mark, and I'm sure I'm prejudging heavily, based only on this one encounter.

In my opinion? Yes. Mayo is terribad. :P

Or so the powerful Ketchup-Mustard-Horse Radish-Tartar Sauce lobby would have you believe.

In truth, mayonnaise bestrides the narrow condiment world like a colossus.

Ah, see, I'm rather anti-condiment as a rule. If something is served with a sauce, that's fine, but I won't add condiments to things generally.

I had to share this lovely little bit of synchronicity with you--I've been reading Bertrand Russell, and given your recent Mcpserience, I just had to share this lengthy quote:

"Animals, machines, thunderstorms, and all forms of manual work, arouse the curiosity of children, whose thirst for knowledge puts the most intelligent adult to shame. This impulse grows weaker with advancing years until at last what is unfamiliar inspires only disgust, with no desire for a closer acquaintance. This is the state at which people announce that the country is going to the dogs, and that 'things are not what they were in my young days'. The thing which is not the same as it was in that far-off time is the speaker's curiosity. And with the death of curiosity we may reckon that active intelligence, also, has died."

Taken from "The Aims of Education" (1929)

So, would you like fries with that?

Wow, that is rather apropos. I think I might need to read that, next time I get a break for things to read that aren't textbooks.
