Have broken down and started reading Pratchett again. flemmings's fault, in part, the elder's part too, for leaving one volume in the bathroom before going away on vacation. Ah, just my luck, it's Men at Arms. Ho ho, ha ha.

I like that Vimes doesn't know he's choosing to be good. He's choosing to abide by the law. The RL letter of the law is frequently at odds with what's morally right, and I wonder if we'll ever see Vimes making that choice. But so far it's been Vimes' personal desire to see order reign against doing it by the book, and Vimes ultimately always chooses by the book.

Yes, you're more accurate that it's the law and not "good" he's choosing.
