Hubris anyone? I know these documents probably elicit sadness and head shaking with many of us, but I can't help but be amused. In my pre-IT days (early 90's) I was the tech guy for a medical center library. The director had me sit in on a presentation for a proposed computer system to help handle information sharing and inter-library communications from a company created by ex NASA employees. If the phrase "We are NASA" was said once it was said once it was said 40 times within the one hour presentation. The director and I keep giving each other incredulous looks. Had a good laugh afterwards and I kept having this vision of NASA employees walking around telling each other how awesome they are. Like "Hey Joe aren't we great?" Joe responds " Dude for real. Look at the time. Gotta go run some checks on a fake satellite. Catch you later."

Thanks for the song. Very appropriate.

Some whistle blowers call the insider cult Hivites - like from Hive mind I think. I am not sure though.

"Wealth creation via invention, vice, exploitation of natural resources."

Well, they put it right out there, don't they?

We are the Borg. You will be assimilated.

If that's what it takes to be a "longer living human", maybe I've lived long enough.

Chew-Chew the flesh eating robot may help you with that.

Such a bad idea. Not enough predators on the planet? Let's create robot predators.
