You're also approaching this from a "consensus-building" conviction. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/10/2015 12:51:18 AM

Sometimes people just need to lose. Not every viewpoint needs to be expressed and given validity. Most civil wars end with victory for one side and utter defeat for the other. Where are the Tamil Tigers now? How are those Confederate war bonds paying out? Is that Carlist king sitting on the throne of Spain? Moreover, did those atheist communists turn Spain into a gulag? How's South Vietnam doing these days? Is the Islamic Caliphate of Chechnya doing well, too?

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
