Well, DNA is and DNA was and DNA could and did, and it was this what set DNA apart from its rivals. It was an exciting time for science, a scintillating time, a time that made fingers dazzle in the darkness of irrationality, all alive as they were with the promise of method and the death of uncertainty. Note that times were tough; oh, yes, how could you think otherwise?? They were lean times, they were hungry times, and as the patents piled the children did starve; the cold heart of economic rationalism won't compensate for the (supposed) benefits (allegedly) conferred to future generations. But DNA did and now DNA is what DNA always threatened to be. It looks inside, my friends, it looks inside and shines a torch on anything that can possibly be described as being capable of being illuminated. And when the lights are out, friends, fingers dazzle. They dazzle.
you're my only friend and you don't even like me
