I was just going to throw the quote away, but now it’s getting to me. Why does the idea of Americans as Quintessons work so well? They’re ruled by capricious five-faced nutters, and their five faces are known as “death, wrath, laughter, bitterness, and doubt”. The only thing we haven’t got going for us is superintelligence, but in fairness Quintessons have acted pretty stupid sometimes.
