I'll endure a lecture from the Irish. The first one in THIS thread, however, came from an Englishman.
You may now resume your lives.

So much for the Blarney stone!Originally Posted by cottmann

"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]

I was deceived by flattery and the kissing of the castle stones of Blarney, so all the gab, was just gab and deception. My, my those damn LeprechaunsOriginally Posted by cottmann
