...pity that George Washington did not become king, for through his military deeds he merited such an office. But then again, what would have happened to his descendants? Would we have no longer been able to distinguish between royalty and Hollywood celebrities? Maybe we should just unplug our television sets...
...natural conception with parents playing the game of random chance, or by predetermining the child's genetic makeup--in effect, creating the perfect child.

He uses thin black lines to distinguish her rust legs from a background of the same color, while only a mottled cream plane indicates the surface of her chest and breasts...
