+Goddess and request Her presence for some desperate advice. Shortly
+afterwards the radio came on by itself, and an ethereal female Voice

+"O! Eris! Blessed Mother of Man! Queen of Chaos! Daughter of Discord!
+Concubine of Confusion! O! Exquisite Lady, I beseech You to lift a
+heavy burden from my heart!"
+
+**WHAT BOTHERS YOU, MAL? YOU DON'T SOUND WELL.**

+"I am filled with fear and tormented with terrible visions of pain.
+Everywhere people are hurting one another, the planet is rampant with
+injustices, whole societies plunder groups of their own people,
+mothers imprison sons, children perish while brothers war. O, woe."
+
+**WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THAT, IF IT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?**
+
+"But nobody Wants it! Everybody hates it."
+
+**OH. WELL, THEN *STOP*.**
