“Sarah Aisling: I can’t defend against these charges because I can’t afford a litigator. But I can’t afford a litigator because I’ve been charged.
Judge: You should have had insurance against contract suits.
Sarah Aisling: I did.
Judge: So what’s the problem?
Sarah Aisling: They canceled my insurance when I filed the claim.
Judge: So sue them!
Sarah Aisling: I can’t, I don’t have a litigator.
Judge: That’s very cute, Mrs. Aisling.”

“But when I saw the price of water I nearly choked. In the last hour it had gone up tenfold. Buying some more information, I learned that there had been an attack, this time at a water treatment facility in Brookhurst. A corporation from a competing Karitzu paid a mercenary firm to blow it up, and raw sewage was now spilling into the aquifer.
My God! Did this happen before my shower? What about the toilet? Christ, I may have just blown six hundred caps on a single flush!
Hell, for the next few hours I couldn’t even afford to wash my hands.”

“What a good government does, what a republic does, is moderate competition; allow the tug of war, but never let one side walk away with the rope. They also establish rule of law, and a safety net below which people cannot fall. Everybody can vote, everybody can share power, no matter how rich or poor. Everybody has rights, and the republic is strong enough to enforce those rights. Police, health, mail, education, the things that everybody needs are guaranteed. Corporations can compete, but they are kept reasonably honest and not allowed to over leverage and risk people other than themselves. People will abuse the system, some corps will get away with crime, but the distribution of a minimum amount of power and resources to all people hedges the damage. And it forces the wealthy, not to be slaves to the poor, but to have a modicum of concern for them, because they can vote.”

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”
