Folks without opinions and passion for opinions are boring to me. Agree or disagree?
Who
cares! Stir the blood! The heat of debate brings out views we might never otherwise
see.

"In the carboniferous epoch
we were promised perpetual peace.
They swore if we gave up our weapons
that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed they sold us,
and delivered us, bound, to our foe.
And the gods of the copybook headings said,
'Stick to the devil you know.' "
--Rudyard Kipling
