Gee, it never occured to me to violate copyrights until I read this bill. I suppose Senator Hatch will have to be arrested for authoring it after it becomes law.
It's from 1st Corinthians 13:
For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
At present we see, as if in a mirror, darkly, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known.
. . . turned the card over; on the back the formal stark simple outline of a DOG had been inscribed, and now Fred recognized it as the shape drawn within the lines on the front side. In fact it was a specific type of dog: a greyhound, with drawn-in gut.
"What's that mean," he said, "that I saw a sheep instead?"
"Probably just a psychological block," the standing deputy said, shifting his weight about. "Only when the whole set of cards is nun, and then we have the several other tests--"
"Why this is a superior test to the Ronschach," the seated deputy interrupted, producing the next drawing, "is that it is not interpretive; there are as many wrongs as you can think up, but only one right. The right object that the U.S. Department of Psych-Graphics drew into it and certified for it, for each card; that's what's right, because it is handed down from Washington. You either get it on you don't, and if you show a run of not getting it, then we have a fix on a functional impairment in perception and we dry you out for a while, until you test okay later on."
"A federal clinic?" Fred said.
"Yes. Now, what do you see in this drawing...."
OK, so congress basically gave the thing a rubber stamp, which is how the republic often works in crises. But give them credit for making sure it expired eventually. Goodness knows no politician could vote to repeal it and be labeled unPARTRIOTic.
Paraphrasing a throw-away line of John Ratzenberger's character, who plays a plumber called in to figure out what's wrong with the pipes, only to find an Amazonian jungle behind the drywall...

Don't ask me. AKAICT a recursive algorithm would get this right away.

What about Philip Dick's "Autofac" was an interesting take. But Williamson's pretty early -- circa 1949.

Of course, studies showed people freaked out if there weren't any bolts in the wings. I think they glued fake ones on for a while....
probably people are buying it just so they can have the joy of bypassing the security lock-out. Clever marketing, boys.

That's what they said about state congresses appointing senators, and now only millionaires can get elected to the senate. Mob rule is bad, mmmm'k?
