    Goodness had nothing to do with it. — Mae West

    You do realize you're now going to spend the rest of your lifetime watching it misrepresented in casual references. Don't wait and be caught unprepared.

    Practice your smiling and nodding now.

            Hey, at least you didn't follow my route -- reading Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil then Machiavelli's The Prince one after the other when you were 11. Talk about warping your perspective

            I'm always still in trouble again

                Considering what little I have read of The prince that is very much perspective twisting.

                  I'll be forever cynical.

                      The Big Brother from 1984 is like an antiChrist! Because big brothers are supposed to help those littler than them and rescue them when needed, not hurt them!
                      If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
