* An Animated Cartoon Theology:
         1. People are animals.
         2. The body is mortal and subject to incredible pain.
         3. Life is antagonistic to the living.
         4. The flesh can be sawed, crushed, frozen, stretched, burned,
            bombed, and plucked for music.
         5. The dumb are abused by the smart and the smart destroyed by
            their own cunning.
         6. The small are tortured by the large and the large destroyed
            by their own momentum.
         7. We are able to walk on air, but only as long as our illusion
            supports us.
       -- E. L. Doctorow "The Book of Daniel"
