Post #12,512 by Ashton 10/9/01 6:21:00 PM Reply	Heh.. an analogous review\ufffd That is, from an anthology of er 'dystopias' from '73 entitled, Science Fiction and the New Dark Age - a capsule quote from Damon Knight's 1955, Hell's Pavement. Prescient? PARSIMONY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL . . . WEAR IT OUT; TRADE IT IN; USE IT UP; BUY AGAIN. WHY AM I LUCKY TO BE A CONSUMER? Because all of my needs are given, and all I have to do is work and enjoy myself. WHY CAN'T EVERYBODY BE A CONSUMER? Life has different jobs for each of us to do. For the Consumer, to work and be happy; for the Stockholder and the Executive, to worry and plan. "Life must love the Consumers, for it makes so many of them." Then of course there was, A Boy and His Dog (Harlan Ellison), to prepare us all for the post bin-Laden, er Final Solution of 2010 (??)

Well, today it's holding at [link\|http://www.bullatomsci.org/\|10 minutes before Noon..] Haven't looked in a long time; thought it was reset to -15 minutes after USSR wasn't (?) IIRC it made -2 minutes or closer, in October 1962. I look for another move, shortly after the Next attack in US.
