Samantha Power Applied to Douglas Adams

Friend: The Vogons were misunderstood.
Me: Are you kidding me?
Friend: They wrote poetry.
Me: The Vogons destroyed the planet Earth to make way for an intergalactic bypass. Even accounting for the questionable value of Vogon poetry, how, by any stretch of the imagination, can this action be redeemed? That’s genocide! That’s like Saddam gassing the Kurds!

Wait a second … didn’t the Vogons not only destroy the planet Earth, but then when that didn’t stick go back and destroy it in every possible solution to the relavent probability function?

The Vogons, misunderstood? Nay, underesitmated. Severely.

Hey, maybe sometimes planets need to be destoryed. Bypasses won’t just build themselves, you know.
