Devoid of culture
Dada singularity
Metempsychosis
Endless Capitalistic expansionism combined with the abandonment of [url=http://www.timecube.com/]the true path[/url] has led society into an endless swirling dadaistic chase of empty and false values instilled by banker elites until the perpetual growth stretched the dollar so thin that even the manufactured illusions of the élites have collapsed and the people are left chasing an endless cycle of self parody originally managed by but now out of the control of the oligarchs on a path so ultimately set on the nihilistic singularity of nothingness that one cannot even ride the tiger as the tiger itself no longer exists, replaced by a papier-mâché replica of a replica of a replica endlessly dancing a dance that it no longer understands for the amusement of the replicas of its once-prey who do not understand or care to understand where they are or why they continue to watch in stupefaction

I was one of a team of 3 economists who wrote a graphics system to help in the preparation of the very-long-run regional economic projections prepared quinquennially by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. While this system has made the process much more efficient, it also made it bone-numbingly tedious and very hard on the eyes. To remind analysts using the system to take regular breaks, I put together a file of pithy quotations, one of which is randomly popped onto the computer screen every 45 minutes, along with a message telling the analyst that it is time for a break. This feature of the program has been popular with the users of the system, and since some of the quotations are amusing (and a few even insightful), I send the file for your reading pleasure. While I have tried to quote people accurately, some of these statements are taken from secondary sources and apparently not everyone is as careful as one would like. I have found and fixed some errors, though some may remain.
