Spills, thrills and cleaning bills

Can you really buy security? Can you put a price on safety? Recently after moving house an issue has arisen involving your humble narrator, an evil over-bearing tyrant and the issue of what is an acceptable condition to leave a house once you’ve resided there.

I think the greater issue at stake here however isn’t a mere matter of someone being a bit irresponsible with the vacuum, but rather the fiscal ownership of intangible concepts.

Who are we to draw up legal documents and claim that we as humans can wield these metaphysical constructs like some sort of powder-headed Jedi to demand compliance from mere couch loafing mortals.

Also if a landlord says he will do something before you move in, and he then does not in fact install said alarm system all year, wouldn’t that make any previously entered upon contract, of which this was a clear conditional clause, null and void?

Very interesting stuff indeed. Although, as I previously stated this isn’t about finding who put the screw in the tuna, but about poor old Plato, whose theory of the forms - which has delighted university types and stoners across the world since they days of Ancient Greece – is being unceremoniously defiled on a daily basis by the lawmakers and the moneylenders, the very sort that young upstart kicked out of his temple all those years ago.

Maybe they didn’t clean the oven either
