`Oh, it's the "system." How scary.
Well, that reasoned, profound and well argued rejoinder has
certainly convinced me. Obviously there are no problems in
the world, and living in a secure enclave behind a barb wire
fence patrolled by armed guards is just the natural way of things.
As to the hordes of starving disposessed squalling about outside
the fence, well, they just don't count.
Support your local socio-economic status quo, help make Bladerunner
a reality in our time...
