Destiny (How's That for a Predetermined Title?)
Was it meant to be? Was it predetermined that I would be
writing this? Was it already written in your life story that you
would be reading SNAGGLE™
and trying to figure out who I am? That is all up to the Supreme
Court today. Today is the day that the case of Williams vs.
Destiny goes before the court. Williams is suing for a repeated
violation of the bill of rights, specifically, the right to
liberty. Yes, you read that right- Destiny is unconstitutional.
This case has already been tried in many courts, but after
numerous appeals, it has been brought to the very top. Which way
will the court decide? Who can know? The earlier verdicts have
been split fifty/fifty, half convicting Destiny on numerous
counts of love at first sight, murder, conspiracy against the
national security, and freak "accidents"; and half releasing
Destiny as innocent. However, at every step of the way, a
mistrial has been called and the verdicts have been repealed on
account of new evidence. Nevertheless, the most shocking
evidence of all is coming out today. Thanks to my excellent
reporter skills, I have uncovered it all for you, my readers,
before anyone else. The defense plans to declare today that
Destiny cannot be guilty because Destiny does not exist. This
could have devastating consequences on the rest of the country.
Doctors would lose their jobs, because no one wills themselves
to get sick. Politicians will suddenly be convicted of mass
murder, of killing millions of people in wars that were not
inevitable. Fortune tellers would be outlawed entirely.
Students could no longer blame their poor academic skills on
fate. All the worriers of the world will be able to legitimately
wonder ‘what if *** had happened?' Which is more important,
liberty or all the things we would lose if Destiny was outlawed?
You have a stake in this, too. Today is the day it will all be
decided. We must(?) wait and watch until we know more. Until
then, a dieu.

to do.
