Adam was by constitution and proclivity a scientist; I was the same, and
we loved to call ourselves by that great name...Our first memorable
scientific discovery was the law that water and like fluids run downhill,
not up.

INCREASED!!! The Prison 'Industry' in picking up where Welfare has
left off?
