"Despite the determinisms of the day, despite the code-breakers, the
wetware specialists, the patient unwinders of the barbed wire of our
being, this I feel is true: That we are more nurture than nature; that
what we are taught, generally speaking, is what we become; that
torturers are made slowly, not minted in the womb. As are those who
resist them."
A worthy jeremiad from a few years ago. Via Muse.
