Timing

An old episode of the X-Files - "Talitha Cumi" from 1996 - was on tonight, and I happened by it flipping channels just as the "Cigarette Smoking Man" said:

Men can never be free, because they're weak, corrupt, worthless... and restless. The people believe in authority. They've grown tired of waiting for miracle or mystery. Science is their religion - no greater explanation exists for them! They must never believe any differently if the project is to go forward.

Wow ... the timing...
