That era is over, and democracy shall replace the world you'd attempt to create and supplant you and your tyranny.

Ramsey Clark and his other band of lawyers tried every "trick" in the world that they try here in the US....and those "tricks" didn't work.

Until we accept the simple common fact that a killer is not worth more than the crime he commits we are making a fatal error in reason.

G.K. Chesterton once remarked about a certain fairy tale that the children readers were dissatisfied "because it did not end with a a Day of Judgement, and it was not revealed to the hero and heroine that the Dog had been faithful and the Cat faithless. "For Children," he says, are innocent and love justice; while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy."
