Now the 1990s seem like a period when the world was starting to go crazy, but not so crazy that it was unmanageable or irreparable. It was the end of the twentieth century, but also the end to an age when we controlled technology more than technology controlled us.

If you never break the rule against sex, you won't break any other rule.
~ Chuck Palahniuk
