God help us, we have sold our souls, all that was best,
To an enterprise in the hands of the Receiver.
We've no dividends, or rights, for the price we paid.
Yet should our wills choose between this corrupt business
And a paradise to come, rest assured they'd want
The world we have now.
Abu-Al-'Ala' Al-Ma'Arri

Blind Arabic Poet of Baghdad
"The more things change, the more they stay the same"
The Frenchman Alphonse Karr said this in 1849.
It is no less true now than it was then.
