The Beauty Or The Best

In our modern world of gender equality and hetero phobia, aesthetics trump utility every time.  This might help to explain why a “beautiful” 6 week old hundred million dollar bridge has failed in Northern Ontario. As it turns out, this bridge is on a stretch of highway that provides the only road link between Eastern and Western Canada.  The bridge is critically damaged, but it is beautiful.  Cross it at your peril.

At every level of government, Canadians insist on electing beautiful people. It's sad in a way, because beautiful people can't run our ageing railways or our half century old nuclear plants.  These were constructed in a masculine world foreign to today's beautiful generation, and they tend to fail or explode when mismanaged by beautiful souls.
