A scientist trained a flea to fly.
Every time he said, "Fly, flea," the flea flew.
"Fly flea." The flea flew.
Then the scientist cut the wings off the flea.
He said, "Fly, flea," but the flea didn't fly.
"Fly, flea." Nothing.
And the scientist wrote in his notebook, "When one cuts the wings off a flea, the flea becomes deaf."

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
