Seriously
The Roots of Violence
Wealth without work,
Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character,
Commerce without morality,
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice,
Politics without principles.

Bill, too bad the zealots have taken over. It's amazing what a small group can do when they have the media promoting them and the billionaires funding them.

Allegra, I bought a case of wine yesterday, maybe not such a good idea, as I live in the hub of rightwing lunacy.

I think I'll spread it around.
