70 If just one piece of mail gets lost, well, they'll just think they forgot
71 to send it. But if *two* pieces of mail get lost, hell, they'll just think
72 the other guy hasn't gotten around to answering his mail. And if *fifty*
73 pieces of mail get lost, can you imagine it, if *fifty* pieces of mail get
74 lost, why they'll think someone *else* is broken! And if 1Gb of mail gets
75 lost, they'll just *know* that Arpa [ucbarpa.berkeley.edu] is down and
76 think it's a conspiracy to keep them from their God given right to receive
77 Net Mail ...

80 The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a
81 digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top
82 of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean
83 the Buddha -- which is to demean oneself.

101 I was offered a job as a hoodlum and I turned it down cold. A thief is
102 anybody who gets out and works for his living, like robbing a bank or
103 breaking into a place and stealing stuff, or kidnapping somebody. He really
104 gives some effort to it. A hoodlum is a pretty lousy sort of scum. He
105 works for gangsters and bumps guys off when they have been put on the spot.
106 Why, after I'd made my rep, some of the Chicago Syndicate wanted me to work
107 for them as a hood -- you know, handling a machine gun. They offered me
108 two hundred and fifty dollars a week and all the protection I needed. I
109 was on the lam at the time and not able to work at my regular line. But
110 I wouldn't consider it. "I'm a thief," I said. "I'm no lousy hoodlum."
