David Weber
“There's got to be at least some contact if they aren't going to lose their assets simply because someone dies before she gets around to telling her son or daughter "Oh, by the way. We're actually secret agents for the Mesan Alignment. Here's your secret decoder kit. Be ready to be contacted by the Galactic Evil Overlord on Frequency X with orders to betray the society you've been raised all your life to think of as your own.”
David Weber, Mission of Honor

Jean Baudrillard
“Satan and witches. If they admit they are in league with him, then they are disobeying him (since he forbids them to admit to being witches) and they are spared. Those who protest their innocence are burned.

A bus driver who falsely claims to have been assaulted is found guilty of wasting police time. A police spokesman declares: 'We already have so many problems with genuine violent crime. What are things coming to if we have to deal with the fake kind?' It is for this reason that a fake hold-up was in the past punished more severely than a real one, for faking evil is even more serious than evil. The hoax is evil raised to the second power.
And faking good? Isn't a fake 'good deed' worse than a bad one?”
Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories V: 2000 - 2004

Jean Baudrillard
“Here, more or less, is the present philosophy: a cop beats up an immigrant in a police station - an incidental news item. But this cop had psychological problems - that is a social fact. How can society delegate the exercise of legitimate violence to individuals who are human, all too human, and whose psychology we have recently discovered - cops? This is a real problem (for journalists). The immigrant is beaten up and forgotten - he is not part of the social. The social begins with social psychology and that is always the psychology of the cop. We see the same conversion in the Greenpeace affair: the fact that French agents went off to blow up and sink a troublesome ship is something to be hushed up. But that there were members of these same secret services willing to betray the operation and give information to the press, that is the real problem, and we shall have to act.”
Jean Baudrillard, Cool Memories

“It was a Thompson submachine gun. She calmly lowered the seat back in place.

She stuck the stock under her left armpit and clutched the front handle.

“Jesus!� I yelled. “Did you always have that there?�

â€Ô¨±ð²õ!â€�

“What the hell were you waiting for?�

“I was waiting until we got into a jam,â€� she turned and hefted the Tommy gun rearward. “Cover your ears!”
Bob Madison, The Lucifer Stone
