And, not only in Budapest. I worked very closely with a very powerful government organization, which shall remain unidentified, to develop the mass marketed version of the Cube.

Now, I learned soon enough, that among the three, two don't trust the third one - the third one is the government. Both industry and unions feel the government is a talking organization and a spending organization.

That said, I should also add that I learned a great deal from being allowed in these privileged circles and am grateful for the opportunity to have worked closely with some of the most powerful and successful people in the business including Steven Spielberg and Ted Turner.

We stand equally against government by a plutocracy and government by a mob. There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with "the money touch," but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.

A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various and powerful interests, combined into one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in the banks.

Budapest
I think she was a middle-distance runner...
(the translation wasnt clear).
Could be a budding stately hero.
International competition in a year.
She was a good enough reason for a party...
(well, you couldnt keep up on a hard track mile)
While she ran a perfect circle.
And she wore a perfect smile
In budapest... hot night in budapest.
We had to cozzy up in the old gymnasium...
Dusting off the mandolins and checking on the gear.
She was helping out at the back-stage...
Stopping hearts and chilling beer.
Yes, and her legs went on for ever.
Like staring up at infinity
Through a wisp of cotton panty
Along a skin of satin sea.
Hot night in budapest.
You could cut the heat, peel it back with the wrong side of a knife.
Feel it blowing from the sidefills. feel like you were playing for your life
(if not the money).
Hot night in budapest.
She bent down to fill the ice box
And stuffed some more warm white wine in
Like some weird unearthly vision
Wearing only t-shirt, pants and skin.
You know, it rippled, just a hint of muscle.
But the boys and me were heading west
So we left her to the late crew
And a hot night in budapest.
It was a hot night in budapest.
She didnt speak much english language...
(she didnt speak much anyway).
She wouldnt make love, but she could make good sandwich
And she poured sweet wine before we played.
Hey, budapest, cha, cha, cha. lets watch her now.
I thought I saw her at the late night restaurant.
She would have sent blue shivers down the wall.
But she didnt grace our table.
In fact, she wasnt there at all.
Yes, and her legs went on forever.
Like staring up at infinity.
Her heart was spinning to the west-lands
And she didnt care to be
That night in budapest.
Hot night in budapest.

We tend to think of the mind of an organization residing in the CEO and the organization's top managers, perhaps with the help of outside consultants that they call in. But that is not really how an organization thinks.

Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of nature, where the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger; and as, in the latter state, even the individuals are prompted, by the uncertainty of their condition, to submit to a government which may protect the weak as well as themselves; so, in the former state, will the more powerful factions or parties be gradually induced, by a like motive to wish for a government which will protect all parties, the weaker as well as the more powerful.

The 11th commandment [A XI-a poruncă]
Hear closely, be watchful and shush!...
Hear closely, and learn how to speak,
Behold the construction technique.
And shush, grasp the things, do not rush...
Hear closely, be watchful and shush!
When sin clings to you like a vine,
And Mermaid's sweet song charms your soul
Shut up and remain in control
And pray to the relics in shrine –
When sin clings to you like a vine!...
When feel that your foe makes you sigh,
And faith slowly withers away,
Be patient, you'll triumph one day,
Don't let your mind's candle to die –
When feel that your foe makes you sigh!
When pain strikes your arms more and more,
Don't think that you start to get old,
Remain what you are and be bold –
The millstone resistant of yore –
When pain strikes your arms more and more!...
And when turn your eyes to the sky
To ask what to do and you blush,
Hear closely, be watchful and shush!...
Like wings stretch your arms and then fly
To reach the majestic blue sky!...

A4e (work programme)
They get in your head
they are like an organization
of death
They can use you
they can abuse you
they can do whatever
they like to you
You've got to do
whatever they say
or they'll stop your pay
They can send you to places
you don't need to go
They can make you do courses
you don't need to do
You can go for a job interview
then they say,
You didn't tell us
We are going to stop your pay
Then you say,
but I did tell you
Then they say,
it doesn't matter
we're going to stop
your pay anyway
A4e needs to go away
they are messing with peoples families
who need the pay
they have debts to pay
It's not our fault
the government have turned
the world this way
Government and A4e
You are a bunch of idiots

As Unreaiistic
It can be termed as unrealistic
We may never be united and remain static
Stick to old bitterness and never forget
The wounds of history and ailing fate
The situation might have remained different
The time would have proved very difficult
The hostility might have continued for long
And worst of it not to have removed the wrong
If you are sincere enough to take the challenges
They are the poverty, ignorance and Dark Age
We are closely aligned to the beliefs and disbeliefs
Those things have continued for ages without any relief
Powerful nations or poor ones remain at logger head
Millions have perished and unknown dead
We have failed to catch the nerves and have gone blind
The life has tuned hell and we are simply unkind
Time has come now to unite in resolve
With dedication and intent to solve
All known problems to be over for the betterment of humanity
Taken care off to the best of the ability
Let us all unite in single world region
Have understanding and permanent lien
What can we think and do in this regard?
Should it be simple one o look forward!
Not a single soul should be made sufferer
Even though we might not see eye to eye and differ
We are after all intellectual and human being
There should no discrimination for poor and king
At least let there be freedom of movement
Mass contacts across the border with agreement
This may help to improve healthy environment
As the world has remained hesitant for this moment
