I'd almost        rather cease to be than live eternally in static absurdity.              This has all been covered a number of times. After a while, it's just better       to let it be. None so blind as those who will not listen.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
