    Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says the man in Washington, ‘It belongs to the poor.’ ‘No!’ says the man in the Vatican, ‘It belongs to God.’ ‘No!’ says the man in Moscow, ‘It belongs to everyone.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose… Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

      I’m having mixed feelings. Are we going here or not? On one hand no censoring… On the other hand… No censoring. Also doom, but there’s also doom here too.

          Perhaps. But I think I may have figured out their logic… no bears under water. So they won’t have to worry about bear attack while drowning from lack of maintenance

            Yeah, they wouldn’t need to worry about bears, but I doubt the panic would allow them the time to contemplate the phrase, “No single drop thinks it’s to blame for the flood” very much.

            i doubt they’d have time to drown tbh, at depth a small leak is likely to cause immediate and sudden implosion, instantly crushing anyone inside. not sure how that would play out in a larger non-circular space though like rapture.

            Grafton, not Keene. Keene did have some free staters, but the cryptocurrency sovereign citizen pedophile kind.

              Oh yeah! Grafton. Got those two mixed up lmao. They cut the towns taxes to zero and couldn’t pay the garbage pickup. That brought the bears who proceeded to rule the town.
