Team Eugene and Team Lester

This, my friends, is a coin. Not only is it an object of monetary value, that could remind us who our national hero is (and would also remind us of our currency’s measly purchasing power), but it is also a symbol for duality.

Duality. Heaven and hell; good and bad; right and wrong. The Republican Party and the Democrat Party; Partido Nacionalista and Partido Liberal; leftists and rightists.

…Team Eugene and Team Lester.

What we could use right now is a good venue to express our social commentaries, to do some literary exercises, and most important of all, to have something that we could waste our time and our lowly IQ’s with.

Think about it. One could align himself to be in Team Eugene or in Team Lester and then debate upon a topic of anything and of nothing. It may be deep or it may be nonsensical. The point is that one would take a side and then argue against the other just for the sake of it.

Imagine Jeco's post on benevolence. He's (for illustration purposes) on Team Eugene. Then I, on Team Lester (kunwari) would argue against his stand and point out that we need not impart a single drop of pity to them (to the less fortunate. See "On Benevolence"), as it is merely natural for the poor and of the rich to exist.

Wil, let's say is from Team Eugene, with counterargue and say that be as it may, it also ignores the fact that we are human, and as such, it is only humane to have compassion. yadda yadda yadda. you get the point (pretty lousy line of argument to tell you the truth).

So there you go. The coin is now flipping in the air. It’s time my friends, to take your sides and prepare yourselves because we are about to loose five IQ points.
