AuT-One Day-being two or three states at once

One day till publication of Spirals in Amber.  Actually, the publication process only begins on the 1rst, when the book goes to the publisher so another day or two may pass before its available.  I'm wondering if the artwork will be ready.  If not, there will be more delays, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

I haven't decided today which post to put up.  The fact that we actually do exist in multiple states made me save that article, but they're not really on the right path.  Eventually everyone will be familiar with my work and Schrodinger's cat can have peace outside of a box, curled up on top of Schrodinger's clean laundry like it should.

So instead of a post this morning, I will write the same memorial that many others have written better than me.

I want to take a second to say that it was the legal system that killed the gorilla in Cincinnati.  Yes, the lack of natural selection in the human species over the last few thousand years played a prominent role, but parents and kids will always do stupid things.  Natural selection is not that good. And yes, the zoo should have had an electric fence with enough juice to turn back the combined stupidity of the human race, but let's face it, that much electricity would have killed the kid anyway (although the gorilla would still be alive).  However, the legal system killed the gorilla in the end.  The child was fine.  Gorillas don't kill children, even ones that fail the family intelligence test.  What was going on in the mind of the gorilla?  Maybe he was wondering how he could barter the child for a ticket to Africa or a few moments of peace every week, Perhaps he was enjoying the notariety.  Perhaps the public would have killed the child with their voyeurism.  It's not like everyone took a deep breath and counted to 10.  Whose to say what had happened if they had ignored the gorilla or at least pretended to, instead of making monkeys of themselves...well technically we are monkeys.  But the public didn't have the chance to kill the child, although they participated in the death of the gorilla by "cheering it on."  I doubt the Gorilla had any interest in killing the child.  The zoo officials probably knew this. But they also knew if they didn't kill the gorilla, everyone involved would have been in court for the next 50 years if the child suffered the least injury.  Perhaps manslaughter charges would have been brought.  So, in the end, the Gorilla was put to death for playing with another monkey that had fallen in his cage by the legal system in abstentia.  And the balance of value of life between everything else in the world and people was maintained.  Since that valuation will eventually kill all of us, including that child, justice will be done in the end.  Perhaps natural selection is just taking its time.
