ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together."
- Daniel Webster

Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can

name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see
all ends. - J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973), The Lord Of the Rings, Book Four, Chapter One
