>You may still be found guilty by association. Only these guys are too smart - they first buy a law which makes their particular form of theft legal. And the court of history, they don't care about that. Apres mois, le deluge.

- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
