Now Government cooked a crisis; and Man came in from watching the news, and he was weary. And Man said to Government, “Please protect me with that same safety, for I am afraid.” Therefore his name was called NPC.

But Government said, “Sell me your liberty as of this day.”

And Man said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this liberty to me?”

Then Government said, “Swear to me as of this day.”

So he swore to him, and sold his liberty to Government. And Government gave Man bread and circuses; then he consumed product, arose, and went his way. Thus Man despised his liberty.

-Book of Tyranny 27:29-34
