Much evidence to the contrary. My life is sucking pretty bad lately, due to either a long series of fairly unlikely and uniformly unpleasant coincidences or else the machinations of a malevolent universe set up specifically to piss me off. Another possibility is that suggested by the other RAH, the cosmology which presents all of us as mere characters in the stories told by Authors, the multifarious and nefarious gods.
