"Revolt can take many forms. And here we have three specific instances. Youth with its enthusiasm which rebels against any accepted norm - because it must and we sympathise. It may wear flowers in its hair and bells on its toes but when the common good is threatened - when the function of society is endangered such revolt must cease. It is non-productive and must be abolished."

"The accused has been charged with the most serious breach of social etiquette - total defiance of the elementary laws which sustain our community - questioning the decision of those elected to govern us - unhealthy habits of speech and dress not in accordance with general practice - and refusal to observe, wear or respond to his number."

Taken from The Prisoner episode 'Fall Out' 

You can watch a clip from which these dialogues are taken from.

I warn you, it is a bit wierd.

I still miss your old blog - there are way too many links now to read. Was much simpler and easier then - as I can read your thoughts and inputs, one day at a time. Now on this website, it seems like you are everywhere haha....

I guess I am just lazy. :)

Well, that is easy to fix - just go to the blog section. Although, I'll be honest, I haven't been keepin gup this website as much as would like to. I'm sure I'll eventually get into the rhythm.

I left Blogger for two reasons: (1) I found it constraining in terms of covering multiple subject matters (yeah, I could have multiple blogs, but I found I don't maintain them), (2) I didn't like the terms of service. My main concern was that I grant Google (the service provider) perpetual, royalty free license to all content I post (actually that goes to any Google service you use - including gmail). See terms of service section 11.1

I've been missing your thoughts at Hotel Solace too.
