“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—and produced Michelangelo, da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce—the cuckoo clock.”
Orson Welles, as Harry Lime, in The Third Man
And you ask me: 'your point being?' My point being: the VALUE of CHAOS.

begin lambaste.

i think you mean 'creative chaos'.
your parallel is one that seeks to generalize.
you didn't like that, the last time i checked. this post is against the scruples and ideas of one stephen d. leavitt, esq.

end lambaste.

hey, i felt like blasting something! just a hint of chaos! to add to creative consternation!
