The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Why is Danny Masterson being compared to Charles Manson?

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/danny-masterson-transferred-charles-mansons-233555437.html https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/danny-masterson-moved-charles-manson-000720570.html https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/danny-masterson-moved-same-maximum-181043715.html Yahoo news is making much of the fact that Danny Masterson is being moved to the same prison that Charles Manson did time in, the implication being, I suppose, that Danny Masterson is at least as dangerous to society as Charles Manson was. Now, Manson led a serial murder cult that was trying to start a race based civil war in the U.S. Danny Masterson was convicted of using drugs to make some women more amenable to sex at his home. Now, I believe it is rather common for both women and men to use drugs and alcohol prior to sexual activity and while, technically, this may now be rape, it is very, very rarely treated as such. So, why is Danny Masterson suddenly such a threat to American society, on the same level as Charles Manson? By the way, I literally posted dozens of comments asking this question in various ways on the Yahoo news articles, and, they were removed every time because they "violated community standards", and were a threat to the "safety" of Yahoo readers. HUH??? I'm not really sure Danny Masterson raped anyone, but, I am quite certain a number of women are planning on cashing in very big on this indeed. I'm also well aware that Danny Masterson was a prominent member of the Church of Scientology, and the Church of Scientology is very, very unpopular with more conventional Churches. L. Ron Hubbard got sick of being paid a penny a word to write novels, and decided that religion was where the real money was, so he started his own -- Scientology. Other churches don't like that competition much, at all. So, why exactly is Danny Masterson the new Charles Manson, now?
