| And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin. Aeschylus I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils. The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance. There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.

| There truly is nothing new under the sun and our good friend Albert was right, "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." Albert Einstein |
