[Users] Intellectual Violence - article from Think Or Be Eaten-By Ang

[Iyana Kellerman]

You are not free; very intelligent and cunning but very evil 
people make you think you are.  One day it'll be just a few 
minutes too late, and your moment very death will be when you 
realize that you are not truly free, nor have you been for a very 
long time.
(I love arguing with stupid people, it's amusing and passes the 
time when I'm done with whatever else I am doing.)
