In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts. - Robert A. Heinlein

I decided not to cross any bridges I had burned behind me.

The matter was still "Top Secret" and the subject of cabinet debates at the time of the Scranton Riot. Don't ask me why it was top secret, or even restricted; our government has gotten the habit of classifying anything as secret which the all-wise statesmen and bureaucrats decide we are not big enough boys and girls to know, a Mother-Knows-Best-Dear policy. I've read that there used to be a time when a taxpayer could demand the facts on anything and get them. I don't know; it sounds Utopian.

Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe — -in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance; the pot could not hold itself.
