That fellow's head is so hard that no mere scraping is going to affect it. You'd have to bore straight through it, and I'd want at least a six-pounder to do it with if I was going to undertake the job. An Indiana head may not be particularly fine, but it is sure to be awfully solid and tough. No; his system's likely to be out of order.
Why, then, has Islamism become one of the most patent and complete failures upon earth, if the true test of a system's success be the gradual progress and amelioration of the human beings who are under its influence? First, I believe, from its allowing polygamy. I do not judge Mohammed for having allowed it. He found it one of the ancestral and immemorial customs of his nation.
Sedgwick always gave time: Lord Mounteney's gem'man says the system's bad, and so he'll put an end to it; and so all's gone, your honour; all's gone, and I'm mortal fear'd the good man's beside himself." "And who is Lord Mounteney's man of business?" "Mr. Stapylton Toad," sobbed the good dame.
If the spatial continuity or arrangement of an entity's structure is severed or substantially transformed its functions are usually adversely affected. Direct interference with a system's functionality is equally deleterious.
He'd appealed to the Emperor for a battle fleet, with a full complement of Security and Combat Division Marines, claiming civil war was breaking out because of something that was turning Narvon System's "best people" into "bloodsucking servants of the Devil." Captain Thompson had no idea what His Majesty thought about the situation, but he was skeptical, himself.

There were far too many minds engaged in aggressive thoughts for a political revolution, he felt sure.
Practically everybody else seemed to feel that plasmoids were the biggest improvement since the creation of Eve. She switched the viewer presently to its local-news setting and dialed in the Manon System's reference number. Keeping tab on what was going on out there had become a private little ritual of late.
"Got room in your car for a little un? I cut as soon as I saw it wasn't a dog; the chauffeurs are tackling the girl." But Margaret walked forward steadily. Why should the chauffeurs tackle the girl? Ladies sheltering behind men, men sheltering behind servants the whole system's wrong, and she must challenge it. "Miss Schlegel! 'Pon my word, you've hurt your hand."
The approximately one-percent figure the tech had mentioned seemed accurate, so not all members of even the highest-incidence groups were Kins but it was enough to convince Thompson that such an oddly selective disease called for scientific investigation, rather than military intervention. It wouldn't surprise him to see the Kins become Narvon System's local nobility, either. "Captain Thompson?"
"Then you work it off in Government indenture, at a thousand credits a year chopping up rocks in the Antarctica Penitentiary. The system's flawless. It has to be. With Earth as overpopulated as it is, you need some system of tracking down people otherwise crime would be ten times as prevalent as it is now." "There still is crime?" "Oh, sure.
