Apparently the electric company stopped by today. They scared Brad half to death by leaving this little card that says something to the effect of "Our worker was here to disconnect your electricity, but due to extreme cold temperatures we will be nice and postpone disconnection." Yeah, they will postpone disconnection. They will postpone it until at least March 15th. Do you know why? It sure as hell isn't because they are nice. It is because there is a fucking law.

There was a time in my life that I would have been upset that we had such socialist laws which discourage people from working. I was young and stupid and going through my Ayn Rand phase then. I think the Any Rand phase is natural. Everyone should seriously absorb her philosophy and then reject it on their own terms. The reason that this is good for you is because even after you snap out of it you will hold on to some of those core lessons about self confidence and living for yourself and not for other people. I hadn't intended to be up this late, so I will logout now.
