First rule in Government spending

Contact
From: Contact

First rule in Government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price? Only this one can be kept secret. Controlled by Americans, built by the Japanese subcontractors who also happen to be recently acquired wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hadden Industries. –Hadden Industries. –They still want an American to go, Doctor. Want to take a ride?

The world is what we make of it

Contact
From: Contact

I wish the world was a place where 'fair' was the bottom line, where the kind of idealism you showed at the hearing was rewarded... not taken advantage of. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world. –Funny, I... always believed that the world is what we make of it.
