[ale] Mozilla Firebird is pretty cool

[James Sumners]

is bird born of fire hence the rename from Phoenix to Firebird. Besides, what
grounds do they have? I am fairly sure Pontiac was using the name "Firebird"
long before the database people were.

All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological
personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the
corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a
condition to which they are quickly addicted.
