There's always this satisfaction I get from long names that are aligned to one another, more or less.

I think there's a name for that condition... have you ever talked to anyone about it? I'd be careful if you ever move somewhere - make sure the weather isn't too dreary.

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.

idk. I didn't want to name a condition - just provide some advise since I have something similar. It's best not to pretend to be doctors :P

Tired, but that's life. Got a 7.5 (out of 10, I hope) for my essay outline for one class, handed in a case review for another class (not law, thank God), and I need to plan my presentation for... November 2nd.
