madmax (Kimball D Thurston):
Real programmers never work 9 to 5. If any real programmers are around at
9 am, it's because they were up all night.
Being schizophrenic is better than living alone.
Avoid fruits, nuts, flakes, and vegetables -- after all, you are what
you eat.
First learn computer science and all the theory.
Next develop a programming style. Then forget all
that and just hack.
-- George Carrette [1990]
So much time, so little to do. Wait. Reverse that.
-- Willie Wonka
Don't tell me I'm burning the candle at both ends -- tell me where to
get more wax!!

rlcarr (Richard L. Carreiro):
A couple of notes to ol' Slick Willie and the Donkeys,
and to GOP worthless sacks of flesh like Jessie Helms...
``Experience should teach us to be on our most guard to protect
liberty when the government's purposes are beneficial. Men born to
freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by
evil-minded rulers. The greater dangers to liberty lurk in insidious
encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.''
-- Justice Louis Brandeis,
_Olmstead v. United States_,
277 U.S. 479 (1928)
``The sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or
collectively, in interefering with the libery of action of any of
their number, is self-protection...[T]he only purpose for which power
can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community,
against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either
physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant...The only part of the
conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which
concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his
independance is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body
and mind, the individual is sovereign.''
-- John Stuart Mill,
_On Liberty_

therese (Therese):
So high above the world tonight,
The angels watch us sleeping
And underneath a bridge of stars,
We dream in safety's keeping
But perhaps the dream
Is dreaming us
Soaring with the seagulls
Perhaps the dream
Is dreaming us
Astride the backs of eagles
- Sting
