You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning
all the time. Why, just fifty years ago they thought a disease
like your daughter's was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft.
But nowadays, we know that Isabelle is suffereing from an imbalance
of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living
in her stomach.

"No Ange, I'm _not_ coming to your party, I'm playing strip twister!"
                        -- Anthia Rallis, in the middle of the terminal lab,
                                without any warning whatsoever

The government that can protect you from your enemies
can be used as easily by your enemies to harm you.

"Choose sysadmin-ing. Choose no life. Choose no career. Choose no family.
 Choose a fucking big computer, choose disk arrays the size of washing
 machines, modem racks, CD-ROM writers, and electrical coffee makers. Choose
 no sleep, high caffeine and mental insurance. Choose no friends. Choose black
 jeans and matching combat boots. Choose chairs for your office in a range of
 fucking fabrics. Choose SMTP and wondering why the fuck you are logged on
 on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting in that swivel chair looking at
 mind-numbing, spirit-crushing web sites, stuffing fucking junk food into your
 mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in some
 miserable newsgroup, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish,
 fucked up lusers Gates spawned to replace the computer-literate.
 Choose your future.
 Choose sysadmin-ing."
