    I'm pretty sure that quote was in one of the RTW loading screens, I always thought it must have been an ancient Greek that said it.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Captain Hayler made it up while he was a student at the Naval War College and attributed it to Thucydides' Volume IX of the Peloponnesian War (9th volume of 8).

    Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
    And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
