It's hard to tell.

Are we supposed to take them seriously?

"There's a limited supply of hadrons in the universe. Do we just want to go around destroying them? What if we run out? What if the hadrons can feel pain? Will we look back at this hundreds of years from now and regret it? Kinda like we do with the killing of bacteria with antibiotics now."

There are people opposed to killing bacteria? Um. I don't know what to say... At least that should be said out loud. In public. In mixed company. Wow. Somebody needs to get off unemployment and get a day job.

There's a more limited supply of other things that I'm more concerned about. Like Too Human. It doesn't get released until next Tuesday! I'll have several whole "mandatory vacation" days with no new Xbox games until then... I might have to break down and buy Braid. Or maybe not. I'll play the demo and probably decide that Penny Arcade was right and wrong at the same time. As usual.
