If Data had Feelings and could Speak

You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"

Prescient? You decide....

Song Lyrics aka Lazy Post

The Darkside of Aquarius has robbed us of our souls and minds

Here come the riders as the wheel of Dharma's running out of time

Slumdogs

Generally it is hard to argue against really smart people.

But:

"The deeper problem, widely recognised but seldom addressed, is how to free people from bad rules. I floated a provocative idea. Instead of focusing on poor nations and how to change their rules, we should focus on poor people and how they can move somewhere with better rules. One way to do this is with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of new “charter cities,” where developed countries frame the rules and hundreds of millions of poor families could become residents."

-- Paul Romer

Ah! Poor developing country people, they cannot be trusted with developed-country business such as Rules...!
