Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a doornail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of iron-mongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.

To this they added musical selections from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from Earth-people in fifty-five languages.

"I heartily accept the motto, 'That government is best which governs
least'; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically.
Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe — 'That

for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have."
— Henry David Thoreau

"I was watching CNN during the riots of Los
Angeles a couple of years ago and they
were showing video footage of a mob
looting a Radio Shack. Running out of the
Radio Shack was hi-fis, video cameras and
everything they could pick up. But the
Radio Shack was right next to a Macintosh
dealership which had powerbooks in the
window. And it was untouched. So here
these incredible valuable portable very, very
powerful computers was sitting untouched
behind an unbroken shop-window while the
poor people steal Sony Walkmans. I felt
that was so sad, and so indicative of our
real problem. Because this technology, at
this point, belongs to the middle classes and
up. It's not available to the underclass at all,
they're not interested in it."
