SlitheryDee

"Thing that got me was not her list of things she hated, since she was obviously crazy as a Cyborg, but the fact that always somebody agreed with her prohibitions. Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws - always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: 'Please pass this so that I won't be able to do something I know I should stop.' Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them 'for their own good' - not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it."



Just as true now as it was in 1966 I guess.

If you recognize the novel that this passage is from, care to tell me why the whole thing is written in this "english as a second language" style when we know damn well that the author can speak perfect english?

 
How do you say "SlitheryDee is the worst poster at any given time." in hebrew?
 
I'm trying to remember a quote by Nietzsche that goes something like:

"After a man and a woman have a fight, the man dwells on the thought that he may have hurt the woman. The woman dwells on the thought that she didn't not hurt the man enough."
