NEWS   Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She wasn't a very happy little girl, but though she lived on shoestring potatos and rotten vegetables shoved under the cellar door she grew up to be big and strong. Then she murdered her parents with an axe and set out to control the town, spewing the toxins her oppressed childhood had driven into her skull as a belief system. There were those who had hurt her, so she burried her blade in the backs of the townsfolk and taught them how to manipulate the world market. When she grew old and weak, they chopped her into little pieces and fed her to the song birds that some found beautiful, but I would only find annoying. It was far too late, for she had already destroyed the village. You can't have a town with no people in it, and everyone was dead.
