The example of the guillotine ought to be all anybody needs to understand that social and political problems are not amenable to technological solutions.

    Make if this what you like, but I would happily pay to see every Republican and Democrat dragged out of office and put to the guillotine. Right after all the CEOs and billionaires. I know it wouldn't actually help, but nevertheless I want to see these assholes bleed. Some primitive part of me craves their suffering.
