[Clemenza]

To paraphrase Caligula: “It does not matter that they hate us, it only matters if they fear us.”

[small voice in the wilderness]

Oh, man. I wish someone other than Caligula had said that! It's good~

The question should be: "Why do we waste time wondering 'why'"?

[lovecraft]

One good quote deserves another...

“Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend.
If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.”

Time Enough for Love (1973) R.A. Heinlein

We are too far past making friends....we passed that possibility on 9/11.
