You get to talk with a man or woman dressed in a Barney the dinosaur costume who repeatedly tells you that "All's for the best in this best of all possible worlds."

Ah voltaire!

This is clearly NOT the best of all possible worlds, but it's the only one we've got.

I like the Barney the Dinasaur suit.
What's that similar quote, from Alfred North Whitehead (but I read it in Naked Lunch)....'This may not be the best of all possible worlds, but it may well be the simplest.'
