Why 'ugly as sin'?
I've used the phrase a few times. I was getting ready to use it for the '41 Dodge in previous item, then stopped to think.
Doesn't make a lick of goddamn sense.
Sin is beautiful and rich. That's why sin is a problem.
Virtue is ugly and poor, or at best drab and unattractive. That's why we need laws and morals.
Civilization was an attempt to balance these qualities. Civilization added a little beauty to virtue and exhibited the problems of sin at the end of a rope in the public square. Unlike fraudulently "extinct" animals and plants, this creature is truly absolutely decisively unrestorably extinct.
