I'm quoting part of a post from my journal here:
When working retail you really compromise your morals sometimes. Yesterday, I found an empty box of condoms near my department, and I found myself with conflicted emotions. The obvious, initial reaction is anger at getting robbed. However, a more logical response emerged. Yes, this guy is a total douche with little, if any, value to society. He made that crystal clear, but he is stopping himself from passing on his tainted, worthless genes. I view that as very good for the world as a whole. It is a net good when you think about the money we'll have to spend on keeping his offspring in jail, executing them, or paying to sustain them (thanks, FDR). It felt incomplete until I thought of a third option: castration! By neutering this waste of life, he gets what he wants (he loses something, too, but you have to give to get), and society wins, too. This is something I felt Dylan should read.
His will is done.
