Maxwell's Demon

On why we should repeal the second law of thermodynamics.
The second law of thermodynamics is really frustrating. It explains why no matter how many times you organize your sock drawer or clean the butter dish in your refrigerator they always slip back to an intolerable state. The second law, as stated in Wikipedia goes like this:

All work processes tend towards a greater entropy (disorder/lower energy density) over time. Since the universe is tending towards a greater entropy (expanding over time), all work processes within the universe also tend towards a greater entropy. The second law of thermodynamics is a consequence of the first law of thermodynamics (ie., energy is conserved) and the fact that the universe is expanding.

So my life is getting more chaotic because of this second law? Hey! Wipe that smug grin off your face because it affects you too. So what are we going to do? I don't know about you, but I'm not going to take something as infuriating as a universal law lying down. I've been looking into ways of getting around this so-called law. Here in Kansas we've already got lots of these unplesant scientific theories on the ropes. Evolution is a good example. We are working on displacing it with two competing theories, intelligent design and the flying spaghetti monster. If it passed, my proposed ammendment to the kansas constitution would read: "The second law of thermodynamics is hereby repealed." However I know how busy my representatives in Topeka are with important matters such as banning gay marriage and finding new ways to underfund our educational system. With that in mind I am looking for an interim solution. I have done some research on my own and I have a possible solution. In 1867 James Clerk Maxwell came up with a thought experiment that creates an exception to the second law. It is described in wikipedia as follows:

Maxwell imagines two containers, A and B, filled with the same gas at equal temperatures, are placed next to each other. A little 'demon' guards a trapdoor between the two containers, observing the molecules on both sides. Whenever a faster-than-average molecule from A flies towards the trapdoor, it then opens it, and the molecule will move from A to B. Then he waits until a slower-than-average molecule from B comes flying towards the trapdoor, which it opens again, letting the molecule through to A. Thus, the average speed of the molecules in B increases and that in A decreases. But since average molecular speed corresponds to temperature, this means that the temperature in B increases and that in A decreases, which is a violation of the second law of thermodynamics.

So all I need is such a demon for my sock drawer, and my refrigerator. My socks will always be organized, and the butter dish will be free of melted butter goop, crumbs, and jelly drips. (And maybe one perched on my shoulder to keep my hair from getting mussed.) I've posted a want ad at craigslist . I'll keep you posted on any offers I receive. In the meantime us Kansas residents can keep our fingers crossed that future generations of Kansans who already believe in the rapture of the Flying Spaghetti Monster will in their wisdom find it only right to revoke the second law of thermodynamics.
