Pratchett’s “Long Earth”. <\/p>\n
gaah. <\/p>\n
Why is it that the authors that are brilliant- I mean, truly gifted- at writing seem to not be able to read?
\nI mean, the book is so extraordinarily well written, and then you start to peel away they layers and it’s so full of bullshit the stench is overwhelming.<\/p>\n
Peaceful self governing people go off to start a brave new world where there is niceness and goodness and above all lots of sharing.
\nIcky guns fall apart if taken to the other worlds.
\nAncient, peaceful cultures are accidentally erased from the timeline by messing about with radioactive materials, which no civilized person should ever do.
\nThe new worlds will always have enough of everything for everyone so why bother with territories?
\nThose stupid Americans just keep fucking everything up.
\nFreedom is OK for peaceful people but if you have any warlike tendencies your freedoms should be curtailed and you should be re educated.
\nAnyone who tries to impede progress is bad, because all “Progress” is good. Right? <\/p>\n
Its as if the people who write this shit don’t read.<\/p>\n
