Bio

"'Dissapointment. Dissapointment. DISSAPOINTMENT.' He beamed. 'The governors,' he said, in a reasonable tone, 'become dissapointed when they find that men are not as good as they thought they were. Lapped in their dream of perfection, they are horrified when the seal is broken and they see people as they really are. It becomes neccessary to try and force the citizens into goodness. The laws are reasserted, a system of enforcement of those laws is crudely and hastily knocked together. Dissapointment opens up a vista of chaos. There is irrationality, there is panic. When the reason goes, the brute steps in. Brutality!' cried Tristram. The class was at last interested. 'Beatings-up. Secret police. Torture in brightly lighted cellars. Condemnation without trial. Finger-nails pulled out with pincers. The rack. The cold-water treatment. The gouging-out of eyes. The firing-squad in the cold dawn. And all this because of dissapointment'"
