    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

            21 years ago I had just spent the day throwing stones at the police.

            I'm not sure of the exact point at which I started selling out.
            Probably when you realised that there wasn't much money to be made throwing stones at the police.
