The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

The odour must be at it's most sickening and foul for that flame to be extinguished and ashes to only remain in it's place, from which a Phoenix may hopefully rise to bring us an album about Listz and Amadeus and where is this metaphor going?

No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

Strange feeling this... being home and awake and not having to rush around to get ready to go to work in the morning. Not that I'm off today, but I volunteered to work a later shift to help out. My day is so... boring with all this daytime free time.
