Quote of the day
'There are three great destroyers of mankind," wrote Benjamin Franklin in 1748. "Plague, Famine, and Hero. Plague and Famine destroy your persons only, and leave your goods to your Heirs; but Hero, when he comes, takes life and goods together; his business and glory it is, to destroy man and the works of man."The Naysayers' Achievement
This is a strong reminder of the behavior of Octavian and Julius Ceaser, who's exploits I've been following in the TV show Rome.
