My favorite joke:
Two old friends meet after years apart. One of them can't contain himself as he starts bragging about his new hearing aide. "It's UNBELIEVABLE!" he exclaims. "I can hear the world like I never heard it before. I can hear my baby cry, my wife tell me she loves me ... And believe me, all the doctors said I'd never hear anything again. What a machine! What a Godsend! It cost fifty thousand dollars, all I had to my name, but I'd spend it all over again. A miracle I tell you!"
The other one says, "What a wonderful hearing aide. What kind is it?"
And his friend says, "Quarter to five."

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.
