"What if I could control people's taste buds? What if I decided that no-one would take sugar? That would make a difference to those who sell the sugar and those that cut that cane...
Now, if no-one had used sugar, your father wouldn't have have been a cane cutter...
See? Every great decision creates ripples like a huge boulder dropped in a lake. The ripples merge and rebound off the banks in unforeseeable ways. The heavier the decision, the larger the waves, the more uncertain the consequences."
- The Doctor, talking to John (Joseph Marcell)
