Wow, didn't that just make an ass out of Knepper! OK, I learned my lesson. The other day I wrote a similar piece of code. I assumed that it would put the program in an endless loop that would run for all eternity. That was not the case, however. The pseudocode above describes a loop that will run as long as 1 = 1, or more appropriately put, while true = true.

I'm an idealist, what can I say? I just assumed that there would always be truth in the world. I just figured that there will always be the laws of logic controlling the ever complex clusterfuck that is the universe.

My little piece of code ran just fine until yesterday when logic broke down. I was in Arlington with the most beautiful clove smoking druidess this side of Valhalla, and we were out in the raining and the blowing with my girlfriends girlfriend, Madeline. After wandering the highways and splashing through the puddles we decided to rent a movie. For no other reason then we were in carnal mood and the chick on the cover looked hot, we rented AeonFlux. The movie was not terrible in and of it's self, but what it brought about was pure chaos and disorder.

The plot involves a totalitarian government providing peace and safety at the cost of freedom. If there is one easy way to get C-4 to like a movie, be sure to include a totalitarian government providing peace and safety at the cost of freedom. There have been several movies that did this and earned my seal of approval – Equilibrium, Ultraviolet, V for Vendetta, The Matrix, Serenity, the list goes on. It is a common plot or subplot. We are all familiar with it. The idea is deeply ingrained in our consciousness. As I thought about this, I furrowed my brow. Nearly every American is familiar with this concept, and yet they all still play flawlessly into the hands of the maniacal dictator. They hang on every rumor of war and pay close heed to the terror level alerts. As they drive home from the theater featuring a dramatic freedom fighter, they thank the NSA for tapping their cell phone when they call their friends to tell them what a good movie it was. At Wall Mart they buy the DVD where the iron handed ruler monitores all his subjects day and night, and then they walk into the parking lot and feel safe and content to see a mobile police camera tower watching over them.

When I thought about this, thunder crashed and my program jumped out of the logic loop and ended. We deserve whats coming.
