It is a fine thing that you do not have the power of life and death over others.  Half of us would be up against the wall in a week.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

At least the left won the language war on gay things.

The right won that one too.  That's why gay men are queer.

You'd think they'd rather win the culture wars on gays and lose on abortion;  that way, there's a greater chance of aborted gays.

To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

It's kinda amazing to me how it seems many people don't resist (at least with all their physical might until the very end) certain death/execution.
