You can't blame your govt. for doing what you tell it to do, or for what you let it do.

That's a common argument against blaming computers and software for 'bugs' - they are only doing what you tell them to do. But, what happens when the software exists for the software's sake (think Microsoft, or perhaps big-Gov)?
"The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the bureacracy."

All women are pretty.
I have met some pretty wild ones.
I have met some pretty good looking ones.
I have met some pretty mean ones.
I have met some pretty ugly ones.
But all the women I have met are pretty.

It can if that's what you program it to do. Haven't you seen the Matrix?
Plus, I'm pretty sure Windows Vista was coded by the Minesweeper game from Windows'95.

The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo.

Well! Thank you very much!
Actually I was just planning on using this as a repository for my various witticisms. It seems God always has something different in store for me despite my plans however. This has become what it is, and will be what it will be. Esmer loves a party.
