"In a mature society the term 'civil servant' is semantically equal to the term 'civil master'." - Lazarus Long
Be wary of strong drink.
It can make you shoot at tax collectors, and miss.
Maybe Jesus was right when he said the meek shall inherit the earth -
but they inherit very small plots, about two meters by one meter.
A monarch’s neck should always have a noose around it -
it keeps him upright.
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don’t ever count on having both at once.
How is a sincere criminal, trying hard, going to get ahead in his profession if his victim fails to cooperate?
Almost all crime depends on the cooperation of the victim. If the victim refuses his assigned role, the criminal is placed at a disadvantage,
one so severe that it usually takes an understanding and compassionate judge to set right.
