Aye, "politics" stems from the root "polite". Which is an amazing concept, considering there's nothing polite about politics at all. No more beef between me and you, Quest? You got it. I think you're an amazing artist, regardless of our "political" differences. I don't mind having my intelligence insulted on occasion, it's the only thing on Earth that helps to keep my ridiculous ego under any sort of control. But in the spirit of perspective, I'll refrain from being even MORE obnoxious and unorthodox, and just give everyone interested something to ponder for a bit : "I know the evil of my ancestors because I am those people. The balance is delicate in the extreme. I know that few of you who read my words have ever thought about your ancestors this way. It has not occurred to you that your ancestors were survivors and that survival itself sometimes involved savage decisions, a kind of wanton brutality which civilized humankind works very hard to suppress. What price will you pay for that suppression? Will you accept you own extinction?" --The Stolen Journals (Frank Herbert, "God-Emperor of Dune")
