If you have a problem with Rumsfeld, then you'll have to take it up with God, because that's who's telling Rumsfeld what to do. At least according the chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

A guy who eventually became a senior VP at the large utility company I worked at once made up an org chart with him in it with a fake promotion. He left it in the copy machine. After the buzz went around that he was an up-and-comer, he actually got a promotion. Many people attributed his early success to the fake org chart.

Or maybe he's a precog.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, sometimes I wish I were an evil genius.

Maybe he got promoted *because* he's a precog.

Well if he was a precog and stated that he was going to get a promotion, the management would have to promote him or risk a temporal disruption that would result in a subspace rift and would destroy the entire planet.

He got the promotions because he was as devious as hell. He was also one of those people with a freaky talent for remembering names. He could recognize at least a third of the 12,000 people in the company, and usually remembered what they did and some other personal detail about them.

Brush up your Shakespeare;
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare;
And the geeks will all kowtow.

Well okay, I suppose that's an alternative to the precog theory.

I so love the idea of a Shakespeare world.
