Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

That's a good site http://www.despair.com/

Are there still any of those hideous 80's "motivational posters" still on walls in offices up and down the land ? Anyone seen any ?
I suspect the last refuges of these godawful things are in the Sales Director's offices of places like double-glazing companies and other telesales offices.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
