			It just feels like another 'religion is bad' 'religion is the enemy of reason' 'religion is an oversized game' 'religion is a mass delusion' message piggy backed on a story to me. I doubt that was the intention but it is the feeling I got. A mass corporation, in control of the media, has shown the ability to warp and control public opinion all on their own. And devotion to the all might dollar is the most dreaded of religions. -- Alex Warlorn 2008 Nov 06

	::That's what I get for jotting ideas down whilst reading other stories. Terms carry over. You can use any dictatorship in any high tech large powerful country. If you want the depressing ending, you have to have one of the superpowers; if gengineering is cheap and easy, you can do it with any state. Of course, if you can only gengineer in the womb -- once you're born you're stuck -- then you can go either way.		::That's what I get for jotting ideas down whilst reading other stories.
