~ There is also the very real possibility that, in the justice of God, one of the reasons He uses the weak and the foolish of the world is so that no argument could be made later that certain people were advantaged in some unfair way by that which was unearned-either in the premortal life or here.

There appear to be no immunities. ~

Osama bin Laden

It is with this voice alone that political leaders should speak when. they command. ~

Jean Jacques Rousseau
