It would have been better if there was a point to the article. I dunno, it just seems like the reader gains nothing from reading the article.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

It's just about the importance of setting. I admit it's nothing deep, but it does more than the typical blog on the net. It's a discussion piece, not a master's thesis.
