Hi,

“A tool is but the extension of a man's hand and a machine is but a complex tool. He that invents a machine augments the power of man and the well being of mankind.” - Henry Ward Beecher

J. Robert Oppenheimer

"When the term 'machine gun' enters common parlance, the word 'machine' becomes much more sinister."

"Time is like a drug, too much of it kills you." Terry Pratchett - Small Gods

-when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed. -Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

I'm still batting away on my politics for the Labour Party. I'm much further to the left of them than I used to be, but that's because they've moved, not me. -- Billy Bragg
