Dangerous Commentary from a Would-Be Galactic Dictator. Beg for Mercy at excelsior502@gmail.com
"One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words 'Socialism' and 'Communism' draws to them with magnetic force every fruit juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, 'Nature Cure' quack, pacifist and feminist in England..." -- George Orwell, "The Road to Wigan Pier"

"If one sins against the laws of proportion and gives something too big to something too small to carry it -- too big sails to too small a ship, too big meals to too small a body, too big powers to too small a soul -- the result is bound to be complete upset.

Author's Note: Blogging has been slow recently due to the need to relocate to a new Death Star. We should be finished moving next week, so I can't promise anything will be written in the next 7-10 days. In addition, I'm a bit under the weather -- I've discovered a growth at the back of my throat, which at present has doctors fairly certain ISN'T cancer, but no guarantees. Hopefully, all the test results come back negative and they can get their collective heads out of their asses and fix it soon.
If I'm incommunicado after this, now you know why.
