- Wait a second. It seems to me that you declare the scheme
- illegal only because you don't like it. What's more, there are enough
- morons in the world for any one who has a little genius and who are

- they deserve it, don't they. If you want to argue, just remember:
- Survival of the Fittest and the Smartest.

- Finally, I am not advocating anything, and I am not denouncing
- anything. I am always neutral.
