Truth or "Free Lunch": A Cyber Parable....
* Mr X: "Free Lunch", of course.... that's just the way it is, take it of leave it..
* Sir Y: But what 'bout that biblical adage - "The Truth will set you free." ?
* Mr X: Oh hell no, bull chit.... it ain't 'bout freedom... it's 'bout getting FREE chit... screw the truth.
* Sir Y: But isn't that like communism?
* Mr X: Oh no... we go for the dough on the backend - service contracts. Pure capitalism bud.
* Sir Y: Well isn't that like a conflict of interest if YOU'RE making the "free" stuff ? It's really more like there ain't no such thing as "free lunch" - somebody pays, somewhere along the line..
* Mr X: Uhh... why don't you just shut your pie-hole. Your like, totally annoying !
* Sir Y: Guess Pontius Pilate is your boy - "What is truth ?" was how he left it just prior to the cruxifiction.
* Mr X: See, now your gettin the hang of it.. Just follow the party line. It's all good. Free chit all 'round. Plus we got the comeback strat - sheer numbers of True Belivers in "Freebies"... Mana from heaven - it's irresistable to the masses of poor folk.
* Sir Y: I see. Birds of a feather flock together when it comes to gimme-gimme, I'm entitled.
* Mr X: There ya go !
* Sir Y: From each according to his ability to each according to their needs. Hmmm, right. Sounds like a "winner". Cya.
