Market or Perch?

Ah, now this member spotlight begins to transcend the banal and pierce the void. The nothingness. All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely dust in the wind. We ride at dusk. We own the night. Thundercats, HO! To even beg the question, we must first set the scene. There are two forces at work that have under many names manifested themselves throughout history: Yin and Yang, Lucifer and Yahweh, Mike and Molly. These forces shaped everything from continental drift to the Holy Roman Empire. The real question we set out to answer is right in front of our noses. Our sensory organs. Our leaky mucusy, nasal passages. Passages from scripture. Scripture of love. Love of food. The scientific method. Science will be our guide through this maze. We have the tools and we ride at dusk. The nothingness. To be or not to be that is the Deal or No Deal, and the men and women are merely fist bumps.
