When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view, and if that code happens to be very, very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun... Frank Zappa - March 28, 1986: Appearance on Crossfire The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama.

Fields "The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other people's money." - Margaret Thatcher".
