Judge Dredd taught me everything I needed to know about life



There is a good way to describe the future shock of life in Mega City-One in a quote that occasionally comes up in Judge Dredd. As things get crazy and out of control, as they do on a daily basis in the Big Meg, somebody will point out that in MC-1, things have a way of... happening.

There's no judgement in the idea, no blame or anything like that, which is funn when the title character of the comic strip is all about that kind of thing, but it's just the idea that the world is a drokked-up place, and drokked-up things can just happen. 

And it's best not to get too torn up about it, or worry too much. They just happen, and you have to go with it, or you'll be crushed under the weight of a thousand luxury mo-pads.

The lesson learned: Things have a way of happening, man. Just go with it.
