Actually, a comment by the character "Blade" from the movie of the same name
matches our games. "You'd better wake up, the world you know is really just
a sugar coated topping." That's kind of our view on things. The world has
its' "Public Opinion" and that is what is know. All sorts make sure this
status quo is retained, be they Megacorporate, Governmental or even "Other"
(the Black Lodge, the Ordo Maximus, the Atlantean Foundation to name just a
few).
