      I like the way both of those words sound, right before the new industrial revolution begins churning out freshly sharpened guillotines.

      In both cases, the people rejoice and get a free ball to kick around.

      Eh, gotta be pragmatic.
      Is it wrong for people to have that much wealth? Yes. Is it inevitable for it to happen in the current world? Yes.
      At that point I’d rather GabeN have control over the PC Games market than say, Microsoft, because we can see the result of their work.
