You have made your point perfectly, Guts, and that definitely needed saying to counter all the petty tyranny that goes on day by day. The perversity and distortion being practiced on many of those boards over there cries out for a superior form of justice. To some extent though, the existence of this board as a separate entity alongside the other one allows an uneasy coexistence between the innocence of doves (here) and the cunning of serpents (there, even if it is enforced on us by the tilting of the checkered board).

As Simone Weil always pointed out, living under injustice is always a condition that divides those who are subjected to it. The special skill of the human species, according to some anthropologists, is that that we are capable practitioners of adapting.
