  10. ODO: The Bajoran scientist who worked with me thought you might find it entertaining. He made me practice for weeks on the Cardassian neck trick.
    DUKAT: Gul Hadar couldn't stop talking about it. He wanted to send you out to entertain the troops.

  19. A quotation from Herbert Hoover

       The duty of public men in this Republic is to lead in standards of integrity — both in mind and money.
       Dishonor in public life has a double poison. When people are dishonorable in private business, they injure only those with whom they deal or their own chances in the next world. But when there is a lack of honor in Government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned.
       Some folks seem to think these are necessary evils in a free government. Or that it is smart politics. Those are deadly sleeping pills. No public man can be just a little crooked.

    Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
    Speech (1951-08-30), “Concerning Honor in Public Life,” Iowa Centennial Celebration, Des Moines, Iowa (radio broadcast)

  23. It's simple; Evil are the ones who created the virus which is cancer. Evil was calculated, the virus is insidious. Evil was high-adept, the virus is a hivemind of low-adept. The virus is the enemy of all creation in which evil also has to exist, therefore high-adept evil has to become necessary. #churchofsatan #necessaryevil

  24. A quotation from Hannah Arendt

    In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, thus the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. […] Politically, the weakness of the argument has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget very quickly that they chose evil.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Essay (1964-08), “Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship,” The Listener Magazine

  28. Nationhood is a western idea and forced onto the world and unsuitable a framework for peaceful human coexistence.
    But like money it's a necessary evil on the way to a feasible framework.
    Every nation that now exists is therefore measured by responsible human behavior.
