>I have been devouring the books of Ian Rankin, the Scottish mystery writer whose books are set in Edinburgh. He doesn't make Edinburgh, and even more so Glasgow, sound exactly like unspoiled tropical islands.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- 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
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
