>> strength."
>>
>> 10. And the Directors spoke among themselves, saying to
>> one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth

>>
>> 12. And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying
>> unto him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth
>> and vigor of the company with very powerful effects."
>>
>> 13. And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that it
>> was good.
>>
>> 14. And the Plan became Policy.
>>
>> 15. And this is how **** happens...
