A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

We had a 2D Design class where one guy typed something into his word processor, cranked the font up to something ridiculous, and printed it off on 300 pages.

The prof was not impressed by the shallowness of the effort.
