Hey, Arlo, Krimel and all you others. You know what the real funny thing about this is? When Platt and his lot strikes down on those who have it worst, they do so by saying that it's because they are slackers or whatever that they are in the position they are in. And then, when you find examples of how these peoples have gone together in a political struggle to make sure that their children don't have to starve to death - why, then they are hindering Dynamic Quality! Well, isn't it Dynamic Quality at work when this kind of thing happens? Humans experience that their life is one of Low Quality, and they set out to change it. Dynamically.
