1.2 toolset

[Philip Levis]

I was under the impression (from a few sources in the dept., such as the 
Telegraph group) that FC3 had stability issues; they all recommended using 
FC2. Has anyone had any experience with FC3?

Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong 
mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which 
it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable 
than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually 
upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, 
penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving 
the soul itself.
