"The kangaroo is a funny animal. When attacked, it defends itself." ~ Neville Cardus "This is what I observe or expect to happen" isn't the same as "This is what I want to happen." Not even remotely close. "Learn to shrink yourself to the size of the company you are in. Take their tone, whatever it may be, and excel in it if you can; but never pretend to give the tone. A free conversation will no more bear a dictator than a free government will" ~ Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chester

Now that we are well met, I must ask; I why chose you the face of a dead replicant from THE cyberpunk movie of all times as your avatar? and given that you have done so, why not the character portrayed by Rutger Hauer?

His character had such a sense of *presence*.

😉

Roy Batty's "Tears in the Rain" monologue is *the* gold standard but I picked Brion James's Leon because I liked the actor in multiple roles (48 Hours), never more so when he falls apart in the memorable Voight Kampff test.

Not that it was a conscious, calculated choice, but that Inquisition was inspirational for me.

Something like this could catch on:

Multiple authors collaborating, at one low rate.

Because gag orders are problematic and almost impossible to enforce on a rich defendant, especially with his First Amendment rights still standing.
