"I would set you free, if I knew how. But it isn't free out here."

Reposting this because it becomes more relevant as time passes. This is excerpted from a sort of apology given to a lab rat by a lab technician...

"I would set you free, if I knew how. But it isn't free out here. All the animals, the plants, the minerals, even other kinds of men, are being broken and reassembled every day, to preserve an elite few, who are the loudest to theorize on freedom, but the least free of all. I can't even give you hope that it will be different someday--that They'll come out, and forget death, and lose Their technology's elaborate terror, and stop using every other form of life without mercy to keep what haunts men down to a tolerable level--and be like you instead, simply here, simply alive..."

1. That reminds me.

The crying of lot 49. W.A.S.T.E. Encrypted instant messaging and file transfer protocol created when the Patriot Act was brand new. The idea is still valid today with the NSA spying issues.

I will have to look into getting Gravity's Rainbow for my library.
