It seems that anyone or anything could be something else if you have enough imagination or lack sufficient ethics so as to still be able to look yourself in the eye.

Regardless of how crazy your intentions sound you need not worry, because as long as the people who have the power to do right are more than willing to do wrong...

There'll be an App for that.
