"There was a dizzy, sickening sensation of sight that was
not like seeing; I saw line that was no line; space that was no space. I saw
myself and not myself. When I could find voice, I shrieked aloud in agony,
'Either this is madness or it is hell.'
"'It is neither,' calmly replied the
voice of the Sphere. 'It is knowledge; it is three dimensions. Open your eyes once again and try to look
steadily.'" -Abbot, Flatland
The addition of independents (as a majority of the voting

The

is changed.
The future is already altered--it just remains to be seen exactly
how.
