"But how can you know what you want
till you get what you want and you
see that you like it?"
"Do I know?
All I know is I've never wished
For what I've never wanted."

Thou Shalt Kill
From a discussion of capital punishment in United Evangelic Action,
the official organ of the National Association of Evangelicals: "The
highest function of government is the judicial taking of life. All
other government powers are implied in that. The death penalty also
reflects the seriousness with which God regards sin."

therese (Therese):
One day in a nuclear age
they may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is
carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together
