this reminds me very much of the book i'm currently reading...
"interesting times" by terry pratchet. i'm aware that some people on the
list have read it, but if you havnt yet, get to it! chop chop, etc...
[somewhere, an entry is added at the bottom of a 1.6 meg text file/reading
list, accompanied by a dismal and resigned "aw, what the hell..."]
some gems:
"Make Considerable Sacerfice for the Common Good!"
"Much Ownership of Means of Production!"
"Necessarily Extended Duration to the Red Army!"
"Regrettable Decease Without Undue Suffering to the Forces of Opression!"
bwaahaa. anyway... you may now return to your previously scheduled
