+ | Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. | ||
+ | Damn kids. They' | ||

+ | Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...\\ | ||
+ | Damn underachiever. | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | I'm in junior high or high school. | ||
+ | Damn kid. Probably copied it. They' | ||

We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Yes, I am a criminal. | ||
