    Add put options before 9/11, so is it not time for the people to end the ‘big donors’ finance of diabolical evil? I suppose they could wait until all face the very executions they take no responsibility for; the terror of their assassinations and purges as if the magicians rabbits actually appear from nowhere! #JustDeserts #911PutOptions #WW3 #TerrorNova #EcocideEmpiresEnd #BigDonors

  8. A quotation from Euripides

    AGAMEMNON: Perhaps, for you, barbarians, it is easy to kill your guests but for us, Greeks, this is a thing of shame. How, then can I escape blame if I do not judge you guilty? I can’t do it. Since you could endure performing such a dishonourable deed, then you must also endure its awful consequences.
     
    [ἈΓΑΜΈΜΝΩΝ: τάχ᾽ οὖν παρ᾽ ὑμῖν ῥᾴδιον ξενοκτονεῖν:
       ἡμῖν δέ γ᾽ αἰσχρὸν τοῖσιν Ἕλλησιν τόδε.
       πῶς οὖν σε κρίνας μὴ ἀδικεῖν φύγω ψόγον;
       οὐκ ἂν δυναίμην. ἀλλ᾽ ἐπεὶ τὰ μὴ καλὰ
       πράσσειν ἐτόλμας, τλῆθι καὶ τὰ μὴ φίλα.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Hecuba [Hekabe; Ἑκάβη], l. 1247ff (c. 424 BC) [tr. Theodoridis (2007)]
