Maiffret got caught in the Undertow

Vox Populi, Letters to the Editor
Monday, 28 April 2003 I FIND IT quite ironic that Marc Maiffret chose to quote Tool in his [congressional] statement, as I feel that a passage from Tool's 'Sober,' off the 'Undertow' release describes the anti-virus industry to a tee. To wit:

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well I will find a center in you
I will chew it out and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just so I can bring you down

I realize that song is more or less a thinly veiled swipe at organized religion, but I think the sentiment is applicable in this case. After all, our government has a blind faith in the supposed power of the Cartel, so to them it is a religion. Matthew Bylsma
