Well, the early boys who came into the United States were trying to get away from reasonable and rational people. And they had a rough time of it because they had been kicked out of everything; they were minus randomity1 people. And they finally came over here, and boy, they — did they find plus randomity like mad. The wolverines and coyotes and bison and Indians were quite a bit.
And these boys were real hard and they were real tough.
And they — early groups were subscribing up in the New England states to a chap by the name of Calvin. Calvin always called himself the “maitre.” I don’t know what he was the maitre of the maitre d’hotel or something of the sort. He was the guy that had, every time anybody thought anything, why, Calvin’s only answer to this was “Hang him.” But not spectacularly — please! Hang him quietly.And Calvin’s reformation took that renaissance that was just starting and threw it into a nearby cesspool. And all was evil, as far as Calvin was concerned. I guess he figured it out on the basis of all was sex or something because he had been in connection with too many Catholic priests. And so he decided that the best way we had better handle this whole situation is just give everybody zero randomity.
Well, the Puritan and so on came over here and they had already imbibed this poison.
And what’s made this country remarkable is the fact that it’s running on a zero-randomity goal with the country itself just raising hell with them all the time and giving them plus randomity.
And between the two of these you’ve got a perpetuation and a persistence the like of which nobody ever heard of do you see? You got plus randomity enforced upon the people with a
tremendous, tremendous desire for no randomity by their own creeds. And it has just made a very exciting playground for an awful lot of thetans.
