[Dan Lund]

I didn't know that... interesting situation, watching something
happening to someone else and then having it nearly happen to you.
I think I'd buy a lotto ticket after that.... once I hobbled out of

It is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it
to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to
act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have
free scope.
-Niccolo Machiavelli
