...last, in order to combat widespread pessimism, we need to start emphasizing the progress being made, as well as the great potential of government service to create additional national prosperity. Rather than a panorama of problems, a vista of promise would thus await. The world has changed in many positive ways over the past two decades: computer technology entered the home, and rapid telecommunications became a part of our lives; the Cold War died, while in many countries democracy was born. Developments in medicine, genetics, agriculture, and physics of the past two decades are continuing to revolutionize our lifestyles...

I've blasted my way up to Level 6, and I can't figure how to get out. Two dozen higher levels await me. I've slaughtered "hell knights" and revenants and blubbery pink things that resemble bulls on tiptoe. I've armed myself with shotguns, rocket launchers and plasma guns that can kill a zombie faster than you can say Hasta la vista, baby, but still...
