"Isolée dans son geste, la Sûreté du Québec a pris sur elle-même de résoudre la question sociale qui se posait à Oka, une confrontation entre autochtones et une municipalité, une situation juridique complexe, un dossier d'un cadre historique de plus de 250 ans.

"is an inversion of the "Embedded" philosophy (ASP, JSP, EmbPerl, Mason, etc.) in which there are "pages" for each state of the application, and the page drives functionality.

What kind of nonsense is that? If you scratch the surface on this one it reads : who needs a legal system when the tyranny of the majority will do the job for you? see also :

Scott McCloud : 10 Suggestions for first-time webcomics artists
The fervour with which McCloud has taken to the web makes these comix seem a bit like those little Jesus-freak comic books that were all the rage in the 80s. On the other hand, it was Alan Moore who said that if the army could use comix to get their message across, so could he...
Patrick Hess : class.tree.php3
