A sample text widget

Etiam pulvinar consectetur dolor sed malesuada. Ut convallis euismod dolor nec pretium. Nunc ut tristique massa.

Nam sodales mi vitae dolor ullamcorper et vulputate enim accumsan. Morbi orci magna, tincidunt vitae molestie nec, molestie at mi. Nulla nulla lorem, suscipit in posuere in, interdum non magna.

  • Johan

    Excellent quote there. It’s easier to deal with enemies than jellyfishes.

  • Des

    Didn’t Cheryl Crow say before the recent liberation of the Iraqi people that the solution to the problems facing the USA was to have no enemies.

  • S. Weasel

    Yessss…well. True enough.

    But I always worry about observations like this one. People are too tempted to believe the corollary – in this case, that the more enemies one has, the more principled one is. When it may simply be that one is an insufferable dickwad.

    It depends on who your enemies are. If they are Saddam, Kim, Khomeni, Osama, Jacques, Dominique, Gerhard, the UN and every other two-bit leftist dictatorship, I’d say you’re pretty darned principled.

  • Sigivald

    The rest of the quote, properly: ” or to have ruthlessly killed all of your enemies.”
