Comments left:	I should thank the inventors and marketing team at Scherpa Manufacturing Company. Their Max Machine deception- crushing the souls of children around the country-- turned this idealistic 6 year old who still believed in wonder and magic into a deeply cynical grade schooler who came to understand early that people on TV are liars and that advertisers are evil goblins. The click-clicking "controller" that (occasionally) made the van turn right I assume was designed by a fugitive Nazi doctor in Argentina. It was an abomination, a lie born in plastic. It was my revelation there-is-no-Santa-Clause, it was my Drink Your Ovaltine secret decoder ring, my tooth fairy lie... And so, over the decades, the Lie of the Machine made me hard. It calloused me. It opened my mind and steeled my spine. It was a symbol, to be sure, but it was also... me. And soon I was the Machine. I didn't feel that disappointment and loss of faith of mankind so profoundly again until I saw the abomination that was Episode I of Star Wars, which is really where my inner spirit was murdered, finally and absolutely And so always I thank you, Max Machine, for dropping the scales from my eyes. I have lived a long, hard-fought life, but because of you, Max Machine, I have had the foresight to be relentless in my dealing with others-- unforgiving in business, stingy in love-- and using your great Lie as a model for what's necessary to get ahead-- I know I could kick a child in the face if it was necessary, because, Max Machine, that's what you did to me. I hope you're proud of yourselves.
