“When I get back to the house the others are still talking. I add my new things to the collection I already have, take out the dead ones which actually aren’t that many, and go back for some spiders I noticed at the far end of the mustard. And later they’re still at it. Arguing about this and that but it’s not a real argument where people listen and maybe change their minds about things. It’s the kind of argument where everyone is actually saying, This is what I think and I’m not going to listen to what you say because that would be like admitting I’m wrong. Then everyone stops talking. I say, Do it by size. … put the big things on the bottom with the little things on top… pg 92”

“There are many other questions. Noe answers them with variations on: 1. Stop complaining. 2. We’ll solve that problem when faced with it. 3. God will provide. Sem and Bera seem generally assured by the last of these, while Mirn and Japheth shrug in consent to the first. Illa and Cham appear markedly unconvinced, especially with the second, but surrender to the understanding that no further information is forthcoming. Pg195”

“Meanwhile, Hawaiian politicians tried to make up for lost time by officially granting cops the “right” to rape sex workers by spelling the permission out in the text of the new prostitution law. When a legislator discovered this provision in 2015 and rewrote the law to scrap it, the cops demanded that their decades-old droit du seigneur remain in place, and it probably would’ve had not the media gotten hold of the story and a public outcry not ensued. Now there’s a movement to decriminalize sex work there, which might at last free Hawaiian whores from the tender mercies of cops.”
